If he truly loves you, he will accept everything about you.

Has he threatened you yet about ending the relationship?

You have BP so you will never be a "normal" person, but I have to ask you what do you consider "normal"?

Whenever I use that term with my husband, he always says, "Who is normal and who are we to decide what is normal or not normal?"

He's NEVER threatened me with any kinda bs, it's just what i fear. If i get 2 much he n0rmally takes a breather till im d0ne trippin. Normal? Heck idk, taking a bunch of pills twice a day sure aint! Btw he says he wouldn't be interested if i was 'n0rmal' but i'm still scared that that is what he longs for. I'm driving myself up the wall, thanks for taking the time to resp0nd tho, i appreciate it much.

I know you fear losing him, but he told you he wouldn't be interested if you were "normal". There are things he loves about you and just may very well be your "trippin" that you go through. You sure as hell can't be boring, right?

Do you consider a diebetic abnormal because they have to take pills or insulin? Or does a cancer patient not qualify as "normal" because they have to take meds., go through chemo. and radiation?

Trippin, please don't make yourself sick. Some guys love a clingy girls because it shows them you need and want them. They love a girl who depend on them, and it seems your boyfriend is like that. If he already thinks you're too dependent and hasn't threatened to end the relationship in anyway, everything is okay.

Trippin, I hope that I didn't make you wanna cry because that is not my intention.

I don't think there is a normal healthy relationship out there for anybody. I have BP Disorder which to you isn't normal. My husband doesn't have any friends because he has always been a loner. I knew this about him before I married him. It's just a part of him and who he is, and I accept that fact and love him anyhow.

Just try to trust your boyfriend if you can and never feel stupid for being dependent on anyone. We all have to be dependent on someone who we know will take good care of us no matter what.

(((((Trippin)))))
There is really nothing wrong with feeling intensely needy from time to time. I'm sure there are other times where you are also looking after his interests - loving him practically - that will keep him investing in your relationship. You need to be there for each other, and the more you get to understand each other's needs, the better you will be able to support each other.

I'm praying for you, my friend.

You're aware that you can be a bit clingy at times, and as everyone knows, "admitting you have a problem is the first step".

Your bf seems like a decent person. He clearly loves you for you. He said that he wouldn't be interested in you if you were "normal". Remember that next time you begin to worry about him leaving; you have evidence that he loves you, not despite your quirks, but because of them!

If you are not in therapy, you should consider it. Your therapist would help you recover from the abuse you endured, allowing you to be a healthier individual capable of forming healthier relationships. I wish you the best.
Thanks for this!

totally agree with Secretum that T is a really good idea.
When I had therapy I found out that alot of my problems came from me not believing that I was loveable. Maybe you can learn to believe that he loves you even with your BP.
