Alright, alright. I know you'll tell me I'm too young to be worrying about this, but really, I don't think I am. So just pretend I'm thirty and married, and save me a lecture, please.
I've got this boyfriend. I've been with him for a while now, (two years) and I believe I'm mature enough to know that I love him, and that he loves me. He's nineteen, I'm sixteen, and yes, we're both still virgins. So that's not our problem either. It's hard for me to get him to tell me things, because he knows how I can overreact to things at times, and how swingy my moods can get. A lot of the time, I get angry, and because I see him basically seven days a week, it tends to get vented out on him, and my parents. (Mostly him.) I cry on him a lot, and I get real happy on him a lot, too. At first, he could handle it, but it's starting to get to him now, and he thinks I hate him. I don't know how to get him to understand that It's my bipolar talking, and not me? Is there any way? Are any of you going through the same problems?

If the bipolar is treated with proper medication as well as therapy, it makes it a lot easier to communicate with everyone. Please ask your parents to get you some help. I hope that wasn't the lecture you didn't want. Good luck and keep posting.

My bipolar really messed up the romance when I was around your age.
It can be rough. Good support (e.g., really good therapist) is important. IMO, bipolar makes many of us take things too seriously. If you can, be flexible; don't be too anguished over whether the relationship works out or not. That was my mistake...caused me a lot of unnecessary pain. Be willing to learn from mistakes, either way. Last edited by Slothrop; Mar 22, 2010 at 11:06 PM. Reason: My line break disappeared!! :-) |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
