Hi. I recently got involved with a man who has a few types of mental illnesses. The main one being: Schizophrenia. He is also Bipolar and I don't know what else but something. He is showing me so many different sides to him and lately ones I don't like at all. Sometimes he wants to be with me too much and is too clingy which pushes me away; and then other times he withdraws away from me for days at a time. I can't communicate with him when I am upset by something he has said or done because he just takes off and then I don't hear from him for 2 weeks. Then when I do see him I am the one saying sorry when it was me that was hurt in the first place. He plays with my emotions and it is too overwhelming for me. So, just recently, I changed my phone number so he can't get a hold of me. I still have feelings for him, but my emotions are all out of whack when I am with or without him. He says one thing and does another. He constantly brings up past relationships with other women and it drives me crazy. I know I need to end it and think I have in a way, but it still hurts. Any suggestions or comments would be appreciated.

Well, if you changed your phone number, you've made your decision. The usual advice is if you fall off the horse get right back on - date someone new, even if it's not serious, just to clear your head a bit.
