In a relationship now. Worried about how all this might effect things. I just don't have much to give. I care very much about this person, and I know I'm not showing it at the moment. Fighting hard the urge to break things off but only as a way to protect him from me. Funny how being bipolar makes you think that. Screwed up, isn't it?

Congrats on the relationship. It's tough to feel like we have much to give when we are feeling "burned out." We can only be ourselves in authentic relationships. Authentic relationships are the ones that last and can lead to a more "unconditional" love.
You do have a lot on your plate. Be gentle with yourself.
