The love of my life just left me...via text message. She went to California for a week. Turns out it was to hook up with an old coworker. We've been together 4 years and I couldn't make her happy. She made it very clear that she's leaving me because of my bp limitations. My condition is not out of control..I just can't work and my meds impact our romantic aspects..but I'm so good to her and I love her so much..I dunno how I'm gonna bounce back from this. Especially since I have to go live with my mom now. I had a life and it feels like it's over for me.

im so so sorry to hear this.
Its so painful and just not fair.
Very selfish of her to tell you that way
I know this will be a horrible time, but dont give up. Life must go on.
But be very kind to yourself in the meantime.

I'm so sorry.What a terrible blow, and done so cruelly.

You can do it, too.
Stay open and sharing here, and let us give you some comfort while you heal.

bp, i too am so sorry this happened to you. i know you must be so sad. it wasn't the kind thing to do to not tell you in person. not kind at all. i agree with the other replies here-be kind to yourself, take each day at a time, a minute at a time if necessary, keep posting here if you feel up to it and let us know if we can help. possibly this will open the door for you to find a soul mate who will love you for just being you. you deserve that kind of person in your life. right now just give yourself time to heal. i can tell from your post that you are special. don't forget all the good things about yourself.

Bless your heart ~ That was not a nice thing for her to do, by telling you by text. She could have at least told you in person. I'm so sorry you're hurting so. I know that kind of pain. Please know that it WILL get better ~ it will just take time. Each day it will hurt just a little less, even tho you might not notice it. Soon, you'll be able to tell that it doesn't hurt nearly as bad as it used to.

Please pamper yourself for awhile -- treat yourself as you would a dear friend who had lost a love. I wish you the very best. God bless & take care. Hugs, Lee

I'm so in love with her, but I won't take her back if she asks me. She's hurt me before and I love her so much that I always forgave. I think that's what's breaking my heart this time..it's really over. I'm gonna need an anxiety prescription for this..

(((bipolar14))) Sorry you are hurting so. Just take it a little at a time, minute by minute if necessary.

Thank you everyone for your support. Talking about it really helps.

Very nearly the same thing happened to me friend. My wife divorced me over my BP issues. It was a much longer, more painful deterioration and left me with deep scars. I sense the fates have granted you a great wish in some sense. You did not have to see your love for her wither and die. It did not twist from a beautiful thing, to a demented horrible thing. It just ended, It hurts, like nothing that ever hurt before, but it happened fast. Like a bandaid.

I remember how great it was to love her. I see in myself the ability to love again, because I know my BP makes me into a special, unbelievably deep person. If this girl never saw how deep you could be, then shame on her, and shame on you for not thinking better of yourself. Being BiPolar does not make you less a person. It makes you so special, rare and amazing, that there can only ever be one of you.

Don't lose sight of yourself amidst the catastrophe of love lost. Just think back to how great your love is, and wait for the right girl to find you, treasure that love and forever hold the seat of your heart. She is out there. I am still looking for mine, would you like to look with me?

I am so so sorry that this has happened to you - it was a horrible thing to do to you and an especially horrible way to do it.

I know the pain you are in - the loss you are feeling - i can only tell you that as hopeless as you may feel right now, it will get better.

and if she was able to be so cruel, you are better off without such a person.

We are here for you...many of us having gone through the same or similar situations including me - I had a serious boyfriend break up with me Christmas Eve, as I stood in his livingroom with his gifts in ny arms - he said he just couldn't take me anymore.
i was crushed emotionally, brought to the brink of despair, but it did get better, I am better and you too will get better.
