i dont know what to do. i really lost in this. i have bi polar disorder, and i have had it for awhile, and my recently ex girlfriend keeps saying she wants to be with me still, and i do to.. but i really dont want to do anything to hurt her, bc i can never tell what could happen.. and she is the last one i would ever want to hurt. please, any advice would help. im just scared of hurting her more.. and its killing me.

well it could be my disorder, but we started fighting alot, and once i lost it and put my elbow through her wall.. i would never hit her.. but i hate showing any anger around her, and i am always angry.. and i cant control myself sometimes and i can say things i later regret. idk but we used to argue over stupid stuff, and she would start crying, then i would feel like even more crap. i dont want to hurt her, and i always seem to wether i want to or not.

if its just the fact that you have bp I wouldnt let thu stop you. She already knows what she has in you and I hear you when you say that you dont want to hurt her. I sometimes feel extremely guilty about what my husband has to put up with with me and my bp. Maybe you could try therapy together to find ways that you can deal with it within the relationship? You cant leave yourself all alone because of fear of what you might do. People get hurt when no bp is involved to. Its just the risk we take in love.

well then she sounds like a smart girl and knows what she wants.

You are NOT by any stretch of the imgination, an unecessary burden and she certainly doesnt think so if she wants to give it another go... and she already knows you.

Go for it man, also try couple therapy like she has already suggested.

You can do it .... you are not a burden... BP does not mean you have to shy from relationships.

dont be scared... this girl obviously LOVES you... dont let that slip away

You will regret it if you do
Thanks for this!

If you are always angry and starting to get physical you might want to get anger management and also counseling.
