I just reeally need to vent right now!
I have been extremely happy the past couple of day, not manic but genuinly happy. My psych told me if my mood swings get really out of control i might have to go to therapy or take medication and i think shes talking about being bipolar.....

Im in a relationship with a guy, not dating but something close to it and today Im having a reallllly low day and im crying just think about how I dont wanna put this kinda of crap on him and his life....

What if I am bipolar.... ill never have a real stable functioning relationship. I am prepared to work my *** of but I dont wanna put that kind of responsibility on someone else ya know?

Ive just been looking at articles about dating people with bipolar disorder and im just crying and having a bad night. He got on and were talking and it getting better but I just have this huge shadow of guilt hovering over me knowing ive gotten myself to deep now and no mattter what I do to try and help him form getting hurt, I will most likely end up hurting him anyway......

You can have bipolar and a healthy and stable, functioning relationship!

I don't have bipolar, but I had very severe depression for a long time. I was convinced that no one would ever love me and if they did they would get fed up and leave after dealing with my suicidal despair. But eventually I found a man who didn't care that I was depressed. He was able to recognize the difference between the real me and my disease. We've been married for almost eight years now. So yes, it's possible to have a debilitating mental disease and love. It's harder--I'm sure my husband didn't like having a wife who hid when people were around--but there are good, strong, loving people who will love you no matter what. The trick is finding him and not pushing him away when you do. I know before I met my husband, I pushed people away because I was afraid.

Yes, you can love and have bipolar. Good luck.
Thanks for this!
