Just your posting is the support I need. It is a given I will not change anyone's mind. Still, your comments are accepted.

I will never have a long term relationship.

Why's that? Many people have long term relationships.

Now, even if I decided to drink every single day until I die. Well, dying as a drunk is a dime a dozen. It is so common it is not even a news story.

If dealing with a drunk who is a dime a dozen is unhealthy for you. Your going to find watching the news, or reading the news online, very unhealthy for you my friend. Take for example school shootings when it becomes breaking news. Yes, for you it would be unhealthy for you. For the American public, seeing school shootings on TV has turned into entertainment. Your going to have to accept, what is unhealthy for you to see or read, in America, it has turned into entertainment.

Well, I think you may need to go and read the rules of this forum because some of your comments about drinking just may be a trigger for those struggling with those issue. This also goes with the issue of abuse. You have to realize what sort of population you are dealing with here. I suggest you review the rules on the board before you go overboard. I do not want to be a moderator, but I do know some of the comments have about abuse have been an issue for me. The drinking is not an issue for me so that other than knowing it is not healthy has not been a problem. If pointing this out and referring her to review the rules is also against the rules than I guess I am in violation myself and I shall leave the forum as well. All I know is I signed up for this forum to be a safe place to come to and to feel support from the other members.

By nature, what does a bipolar person does different, than a person without a mental illness. They pick up a firearm, place it to their head, and blow their brains out.

I am bipolar, and if I am going to have a long term relationship with another person. They have to accept to the fact, they could be the first person to discover my body after a suicide. Say I was married years from now, and then take my life for some reason. How would my spouse move on? Since it was a same sex marriage, my wife can move on and start dating again. What is she going to say? Well, my wife took her own life, and you said your divorced. Is it fair to my spouse, to spend time thinking about what to do after a suicide: for the whole of our marriage?

Hi Misery Business, I just want to let you know that I agree with you, very much so.

Ezrigirl I am glad that just my posting offers you support. I am sorry you are feeling this way and that you feel you cannot have a relationship or a full life. I do know some people are successful in having relationships with bipolar disorder, some I know in real life. It might require medication and therapy to be stable enough to maintain a relationship and it is definitely not easy. Your last post is talking about some triggering topics. Do you know how to add trigger warnings? I think that might be helpful for some people here. Generally anything related to harming oneself should have a trigger warning.
