He sounds to me very similar in alot of ways to myself. I have only a few friends, but I have days when I wake up and just stop talking to all my friends sometimes for months at a time and then I call them back up like nothing happened and we start to hang out again. They say that they understand totally, but I dont always believe them. I have delusional thinking, I believe I can read people's minds and stuff and I think behind my back all my friends and even family are just making an *** out of me!!!

I also have very poor "impulse control" and it sounds to me like your man does too. I went from job to job until I finally had to file for disability because really I was on welfare and had worked every job in my area so I had no choice really. I live in a small retirement town and my vehicle is 11 years old and I dont trust it to run to far. Therefore I have to stick close to home.

Oh by the way I am Mikey and 33 from PA. I am new here too. I suffer from Bipolar Disorder, Social Anxiety Disorder and I have delusional thoughts and I am a Self Harmer.

I have pushed away all my friends and lost my ex girl friend of 4 1/2 years because of my hypersensitivity and my poor impulse control.

I understand everything that you typed and I feel for you I really do because I really think your man is Bipolar. If not he sure does show lots of signs of being. There is something else called Borderline Personality Disorder, but I dont your man suffers from this because it mostly affects women and involves self harm and various other things that you didnt have issues with.

I would say your best bet is to "try" your very best to get your man to go see a doctor and have that doctor refer him to a specialist or pdoc (psychiatrist) for further evaluation. If not this is going to continue to ruin his life. Trust me I know. I have battling everyday with this illness and I am on 9 different meds per day and still having troubles with severe depression and isolation...

Hope I helped
I would say welcome, but I am new as well lol...
Take Care
