Don't know what to say. Got diagnosed about a month ago, today he told me he wanted to break up because he couldn't deal with my illness anymore. Hurts so much.

Wow.
I am so sorry to hear about this. Had you been dating long? Unfortunately there are some people in the world who still associate psychological disorders with a negative stigma. I know you may not want to hear it, but perhaps it was for the best and now you may meet someone who loves you for every part of you - good or bad, Chin up! |

I hope it gets easier for you. I see your mood is shocked, but there are real assholes out there who aren't worth your time of day. Again, I am so sorry he did this to you. Someone will come along when you least expect it who WILL accept you for you.

I am sorry. That is just what you didn't need right now. I hope you have supportive friends and family to help you right now.

I am so sorry that happened. (((((hanners)))))
In 2007 my boyfriend broke up with me because I was admitted to the psych ward with depression. He came to visit once, said he couldn't handle it, would never come back, and broke up with me. Didn't help my depression one bit of course. It also didn't help that we were living together, and when I was released from hospital I went home to him, at least until I moved out. But I learned that if he couldn't accept me as I was, it wasn't a good relationship to begin with.

Can't believe this. We were together 4 years, we even just celebrated our anniversary. We've been through a lot together before, including going through major surgery a couple years ago. We were making plans to move to SoCal together even when he completed his PhD. Now I'm just so angry at him I don't know what to do. |

Well, if he's weak enough to leave you in your hour of need, then you're better of without him. I'm so sorry you had such a shock though... I echo other's and hope that you have good family and friends around to offer you support.

I don't think the break-up had anything to do with your diagnosis or your being bipolar. Or even, as a mater of fact, with you. i suspect it's all your partner and you, your diagnosis, and your illness are just the excuse. Just MHO. It still hurts, no matter what, but I think your partner was just generally not worthy of anyone with honest feelings & the ability to care about someone else. Take care of you. Focus on your dis-ease. Learn to become as well as possible. Get strong enough to risk another relationship. Learn from this heartless jerk & move on.
