This is me, too. I have a huge capacity to love. And I have chosen the worst people over the years to love at least in part due to hypomania, and when it became clear I made a wrong choice in a more normal mood I would stay and try to fix it (codependent), and then become depressed.
Right now I need to focus on me and I relate to another comment on here: I want a significant other, and I really don't want a significant other.
Being newly diagnosed, the path has been rocky but I've had some brief spurts of feeling more normal and I'm hoping once the meds are titrated properly, I'll be capable of having more sustained meaningful relationships with people who are good for me. Unfortunately I have a feeling there are few out there who will meet that profile. At the very least, I can learn to love and respect myself better.
