Hello World,

I have a question for anyone out there living with Bipolar.
I have recently found my first Love and he daid he has been diagnosed to be Bipolar .
It has been exciting to be able to keep in touch for the last two weeks. I don't know if anyone out there can relate but this has been one of the moments in my life that I have been wating for, for the last 15 years. Ofcourse my mind has been racing from one extreme of emotions to another as to wether we can be together again. I do not know much about being Bipolar but all I can think of is that I still care very much about this man. Does anyone out there have any opinions as to wether I should get involved with this man. He is a good person I just wonder if I will know how to handle all that it entails. All that I know about being Bipolar is only what I have learned on this site ! So please help  " Found  My First Love" !!!

if you really care about someone and have the patience, you can weather all the things we go through, hubby says it's like a rollercoaster, but as in all relationships there are ups and downs

{{{zygolover}}} First of, Welcome to PC!
Now, congrats!!! I can tell you one thing. I'm bipolar and my husband has ADD; It's not easy at times, when we both feels frustated things can go wrong really fast, but, I think that to make any relationship work, you need to be willing to leave your selfishness on the side.
One really good thing that you both can enjoy is the understanding of the illnes, and with that, if there is really love involved you'll make each others better.
Best of luck~

"I just wonder if I will know how to handle all that it entails." -- don't get ahead of yourself and the relationship :-) I'm sure you can learn to relate to this man and handle whatever the relationship brings. Another person and a relationship is just another person and a relationship; we all have our unique makeup, that's what "Life" is about, getting to know ourselves and others and "handling" what it all entails. You don't have to marry him tomorrow, there's plenty of time to grow into whatever you need :-)

congrats, finding your first love has a tendency to mark a check in time during your life. I remember my first love very clearly....I sometimes wonder if he's made it out of addiction alive or if he's still addicted...I hope not. Two people with bi-polar can be difficult but very possible, if anything ya'll understand the swift kick of emotions more then anybody else will. I hope it all goes well for you.

As to personal experience:

My fiance is Bi-Polar. Sadly, That is not the only thing she has. While making use of the website I mentioned above, read anything you can on 'setting boundaries' because, you will need to set them. One of the biggest problems my fiance has, is, 'projecting' her problems on to me. This is her way of not taking responsibility for her own actions.
