I have a boyfriend with bipolar. He is on Depakote, recently stopped anti-depressants by his doctor's advice and went straight to depressive episode since then. It started two weeks ago, he came to me and said that he doesn't know what he is feeling, he feels guilty. He started rationalizing his feelings by saying that it's impossible not to love me because I'm beautiful etc. etc.... Now he went for holidays and hardly replies to any of my sms, even though they are not intrusive, I am just being supportive, warm, not asking for anything. I am starting being depressed myself, have problems eating and sleeping... What should I do? How should I communicate with him now?
