Is this someone who has bipolar? Help!

And what is that you're trying to prove to US by keeping this thread ongoing?

Does it matter ? If you are a professional why not chalk it up and move on already ?

Do you like her or something?

Being angry does not = Bipolar

Hi Miguel, anything is possible and it's hard for me to believe she could be bipolar because she was always so sweet to me and not once has she ever blew up at me.

I was talking to another client of mine today, she said she was bipolar but her clients have no idea she is and the only people that knows are her family and close friends. And she told me she is normally good at concealing her mood swings from coworkers and clients and vendors like myself. I would have never guessed she was because she seemed just like the girl next door. She emphasized the only people she feels comfortable lashing out at are people close to her. I know my client felt comfortable enough around me and that might explain why she let loose on me. OK and for those reading this, yes yes yes being late was wrong, but I was doing her a favor, saving her hundreds, and she needed to understand I was busy picking the brains of other experts to make it happen and lost track of time.

I don't think you read my previous post. Please scroll up and you will know why I brought this up. Yes I have pretty much got everything I need to know and I now understand to some degree what happened so yes I am moving on. but people here keep commenting and commenting and when they ask the same questions, it will deserve a response.

@yes I did like her. I considered her a friend so that is why I felt sad and hurt. If I didn't like her I would still feel bad but not as bad. I have known her for 2 years and we had a great client/vendor relationship. I made very sure that after I was done with the job, I disappeared from her life to respect her privacy.

Again, people keep writing on this thread so just responding to their questions and comments. I think I know everything there is to know about it. If you look at the number of threads I started this is the only one. After this, I don't have any other worries because the vast majority of people I have worked for has never acted with extreme behavior. Yes I have been told not to come back because I dropped the ball, but the way they told me was very normal and I accepted what happened at face value. What occurred with my client was just bizarre and it was just shocking to see someone totally out of control. I have never ever had anybody act like they were dying because of someone being 4 hours late.

I do apologize for not reading All your posts and replies. I just don't see why this situation has you so wound up that your writing in Caps as in the internet/ forum is like yelling, which is why I responded as I did,

I wish you the best in allowing yourself to find emotional closure to this.

Sounds personal. Are we done yet?

I sure hope so. All we're doing is going around in circles.

sorry for the CAPS, it was just to emphasize and that should not be mistaken for me yelling. As far as closure, it always hurts when you lose a client regardless of gender. I have lost some male clients to the competition and when they don't give you any feedback, it's hard not to feel bad. My quality was always excellent but my prices are generally much higher than the competition and they probably left because they wanted cheaper price.

But this one client, yes I did over time develop kind of a crush on her, but I have never let her know that nor have I ever or would I ever act inappropriately. Yes I know there will be some on this board that will shame me and suggest I should only get crushes on guys, but I don't swing that way. I think clients should try to avoid getting too personal with their vendors and vise versa. My client from day one has always been not only gracious and sweet to me, but maybe a little too close as far as disclosure about her personal life and the nature. But as always, we were best of friends while on the job but after I was done, I made sure not to remain in contact. I also think she mistook my offerings to help her for finding ways to get closer. But I have also done many extra favors for all my clients regardless of gender because I know I am expensive and I wanted them to feel like they got their monies worth. So in this regards I think she mistook my favors as me trying to get closer to her which was not true. I would have done the same for anybody that was paying me a good buck.

Anyway can we all now just leave it at that and we can close this thread.

The moderators will close it for you if you wish. You can PM one of the mods by clicking on their name (CANDC, Fooze etc.) in the lower right hand corner of the front page of this forum and ask them to close it.

It doesn't have to be closed and welcome new comments but just don't like hearing the same arguments. By the way, one of my friends brought up a very good point. I should not allow people to walk all over me like that and if they will talk down to me like a child, I should have turned and walked away. The only problem however, when my client/friend was screaming at me, I was too scared to move, talk, anything so it would have been hard for me to turn. I always turn into a little boy when women get aggressive with me, not sure why but I think they sense guys who are weak.

Thinkmaster, your questions were answered repeatedly.
This is a "Bipolar Forum."
Nothing concerning "Bipolar issues" is going on in your thread.

There are many categories here at PC, some of which are likely more appropriate for you, more helpful to you. "Relationships and communication" is just one I can think of. There are others.

Thanks for posing your original question.
Best wishes as you learn more about yourself and grow personally.

This thread appears to have run its course so I'm going to close it.
