I was 24 when I was diagnosed with bipolar, I'm 42 years old now. I have been married twice, I've been with my current husband for 8 years. So it is possible to be bipolar and have a meaningful relationship. I met my husbands at work. Perhaps you can meet boys at school or participate in some afterschool activities. Maybe your brothers can arrange some introductions for you. I understand the need to interact and communicate with someone special. I hope you keep coming to this site so that you can at least express yourself here. Meeting that special someone doesn't happen overnight. Try and be patient.

Hi Sweetangel, I have to agree with Cthomas, you are young, you have your whole life to find the one who will be right for you. Even other teens who do not have bipolar go through several different boyfriends before they find one that is worth having a relationship with. Concentrate on keeping yourself happy and well and the rest will fall into place when the time is right. I can understand feeling alone, I am 33 and married for 11 years and there are still points in my life where I still feel lonely. I wish you much happiness Love, Jen feeling alone

For as much as I would love the "happily ever after", relationships take work in order TO work. Right now you have your whole life ahead of you. Many things to experience, Many friends to be with. Men will be there eventually. and for as much as I love men, i am glad to have gotten married AFTER i lived on my own and had time with my friends.

Make sense? Rushing into a relationship especially when you are vulnerable is not good. it produces unhappy results.

Try to take it easy OK? PM if you need me, were here for you

Colleen

I know exactly what that is like. I spent a lot of my teen years wishing I had a boyfriend. I saw my friends with theirs and wished I had someone to care for me like that. I look back and realize that I should have been concentrating on me. These are the only years that you have to be selfish do thing that you want to do just because you want to do them. Best of all if you want to take a class to learn something new it will most likely be on your parents account. I did have to work for stuff like that but if you can do it without paying for it yourself now is the time to do it. I didn't know it at the time but one guy that I use to pass by and occasionally talk to (we had no interest in each other at the time) would be my future husband. We met again when we were 21. We passed and started to talk, I was into stuff, joined teams started biking ect. we started talking and had so much to talk about he invited me to a coffee shop. I now have two kids and a husband to look after and it isn't just about me anymore. Sometimes I feel sad but I have to put my feeling on the back burner because he needs a hug more than I do. It is great I love my life, but now you can develop you and make you more interesting do that and through that you will find a guy that has the same interests as you and that you can have a ton of fun with. There is a guy out there for you and he will come along when the time is right.
