A few weeks ago I got a feeling that I should leave my partner. I love her. She’s amazing. I feel like I’m mean to her sometimes. And I get annoyed so quickly with people I’m closest to. She doesn’t deserve that. I don’t know if it’s us that is causing me to be mean, or if it’s something else.
I’m mad because when I talked to my best friend a bout it, she said I was making a mistake, and it seemed impulsive. My mom told me the same thing. How dare they tell me what to feel?? I know I’m not in an episode. I love my ex, everyone tells me she was perfect for me - and I think maybe she was…. But I’ve already made her move out. And I’ve already ended things. She was so confused and hurt when i ended things & kept saying it was out of the blue. To me, I feel like I thought about it. I thought about it for 36 hours and then told her I wasn’t sure I could do this. My family thinks I’m manic. I don’t think I am. I’m fine. I think I’d know if I was manic. Right?! I don’t know what to do. I feel like no one is on my side. No one understands. Everyone is on my ex’s side. Everyone questions WHY I did it - but it’s none of their business!!!!!!! Maybe I ruined everything? I feel great though. There wasn’t anything horrible about the relationship except I was mean sometimes and I didn’t like that about myself. My ex says I was hard on myself & wasnt that mean. But I know I was. I didn’t like it. What do you think? |

I'm not saying you're manic, but i will say when we become manic the first thing to go out the window is insight so it's possible. How have you been sleeping? Eating? Any other of your typical warning signs popping up? I've done similar things and in retrospect I was manic (but I didn't know until retrospect).
Can you have a civil chat with your ex about how you feel? Maybe dig a little and try to see her side?

Welcome to the forum, Abcd22. I'd ask the same questions MuddyBoots asked.

Welcome! I third what MuddyBoots wrote. And again, most of the time before my diagnosis, and some after, I had no clue when I was manic. I was capable of justifying all kinds of behavior.
