I am dating an unmedicated bipolar girl who was in mania for the first 3 weeks we met. Now in a mild depressive mode past 3 weeks. It is difficult because in mania she is so loving and playful but in depressive mode she is tired and kinda a recluse. I want to continues onward because she is a really sweet girl but the most difficult thing is not knowing when the next time you will experience her loving side again and not knowing if she should be left alone or shown love during the depressive modes? From what others have said...there is little we as dating partners can do to alter a bipolar persons mood....

Hello. I appreciate the question. Sometimes we forget how difficult it is for family members and friends of a person with bipolar and the challenges they face in their dealings with us. I came across this index of articles: Supporting Someone with Bipolar - For Family and Friends - ow.ly/Xgn630aUTat . Even though some of the articles may be for spouses or family members, they are still applicable for friends and those in dating relationships. One simple thing I would suggest is to simply ask her what she would like from you, if anything. There may be something you can do that she would appreciate. On the other hand, she may say there's nothing you can do and she just wants to be left alone. Thanks, Hannah Someone with Bipolar: For Family and Friends - See more at: www.healthyplace.com/bipolar-disorder/bipolar-support/supporting-someone-with-bipolar-for-family-and-friends#sthash.DNRL54N5.dpuf Someone with Bipolar: For Family and Friends - See more at: www.healthyplace.com/bipolar-disorder/bipolar-support/supporting-someone-with-bipolar-for-family-and-friends#sthash.DNRL54N5.dpuf

I definitely think being close to a partner and having them there for you in your depressive episodes can help and be a comfort

I used to be secretive about being bipolar until I decided that a certain person really mattered, but, recently I came out on You Tube and Facebook (in portuguese - I'm brazilian) and feel much more free and I felt the need to be upfront not because it is a positive or a negative trait, but because it is a part of who I am. I'd rather scare off people full of prejudice the sooner, the better.

i have been secretive all these years.... i dont even know how to talk about it

How come BP people never acknowledge the multiple sexual partners? It’s always just ‘we’re great accept us or else’. There is a reason over 90% of bp relationships fail and this girl doesn’t acknowledge any of em.

It is a negative thing or we wouldn't be taking medications for it. Dating is a lot harder when you have BP or BP2 because your emotions are not normal emotions if you're untreated or your treatment is ineffective. My boyfriend of 2+ years and I just recently broke up because I had a BP depressive episode that caused me to do what I always do; which is try to cut off everyone I love because I feel unworthy of that love. He couldn't take it any longer. So yes, it's a negative thing and I can't think of any reason someone would willingly jump into a relationship with someone like me, knowing they were completely off their rocker.

I love your videos. Please keep talking! :) Well it's never been a big deal breaker. I told my story online and is now a part of an organisation. Sooo they probably already know. What happens for me over and over again is 1) The person thinks it's his duty to save me from ever getting depressed, selfharm or think about suicide ... no matter how freaking hard I try to explain, that it's not how it works. It's just so important to know, when I get hospitalized now and then (I've almost been free for 6 months tho!!). 2) I get depressed. I isolate myself and my mind keeps rambling and ends up making him to the worst person alive. RUN. 3) I get afraid of getting a person involved in my mess. Then it's just another person getting hurt. Okaaay, so here's a freaking novel, because I suck at making a story short. And my english sucks because my main language is danish. Sorry about that :)

If you’re an attractive female with this disorder then dating isn’t really affected for you, but if you’re a man it’s the complete opposite

I never considered myself bipolar but I do all that over-analysis stuff too, it's been a part of my adult life as long as I can remember. It's only through meditation, many self-help techniques and constant mindfulness throughout the day that I can just about live a normal life. It's exhausting!

There may be additional help, through therapy and/or medication, for your symptoms. Thanks for your comment. Hannah

That extra perspective that analysis and conjectures your every action or inaction always destroys that sense of true self-worth you need to really out yourself out there :( though i embrace some of the positive creative aspects i cannot seem to reconcile this with that self-destructive aspect of this illness.

Never heard anyone tell my story so word for word...

It's hard to fix myself so I know I can't fix everyone else... I'd rather it be me, at least then id have a chance...

I struggled to deal with my ex wife(bipolar) 1.Once she threw me out the house for being half a hour late home after there was an accident on the road(not my fault) 2.She will involve you in her financial impulsive rollacoaster and have a massive go at you of you try and be reasonable and decline on spending for benefit of the household 3.Her massive highs like "Omg let's all go to Disney land next month the kids will love it" ummmmmmm ££££££😂 4.Your point of view is ALWAYS wrong compared to hers and there is only her way of doing something. 5.I could never reason with her if she was upset with me over something that's her fault like 1 time she asked for a lift from supermarket because she missed her bus but I explained I couldn't because I was at work and she divorced me😂😂 6.She could come across as rude one time I gave her a lift from her moms house as a favour because she missed the bus back when we were dating and she didn't even say hello to me she just goes "You made it then"

I recently been broken up with by a girl who I perposed to. Many of the reasons it ended were due to the lack of dealing with my mental illness. I have tried to move on and start dating again but I could only see the bad part of me that treats people like trash because I don't know how to handle my self. Your statement ' it is like having three people on the date' is 98% how I feel. It is less a judgemental thing for me but I am myself and past self. I might even add that it is like having 4. Myself, my low self, and my high self all in one date... a date between to bi polar people must be Uber crazy

I’m dating someone who I have known for years(12years to be exact). We meet at daycare and our relationship grew from that. We got very close and went to school together until high school. I never knew he was bipolar until 8th grade. I never thought it was something serious until I did my research. My point is he can be very sweet and loving when he’s on his meds but when he’s not he can be mean or just get sad. Sometimes he can get really mad and he becomes violent but not with me just with other people. I wanna be there for him and I love him a lot we have been through a lot but sometimes I don’t know what to say or do when he gets like that. Sometimes he says mean things to me and says he hates me but then after he apologizes because he didn’t mean it and he cries and tells me hates it that he is that way. Does Being bipolar make you really angry??? I know it sounds stupid but I just wanna know and learn more about it because I really care and I wanna be there for him since his parents don’t care.

Yes I would date you . I too analyze EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE. I can't shut it off. I don't worry about what I'm saying until after I have said it. I feel emotions deeply but damned if I don't question myself " why"? " What's my motivation"? " What's someone else's motivation"? I love these vids because I have an inside look . I know many people with this condition. My mother had it. I love what you said about living in the South and snow. I live in Ky. A snow flake falls and the National Guard closes the roads and does a house in house safety check. Keep these coming. I'm analyzing myself.

Never even got to know what it’s like. There were many times I almost had a relationship but ended up ruining it.

Boy, if you knew Long Island, New York, even our weather is bipolar, drives me NUTS I just use my mental illness to push everyone away so I don't have to have the pain of things like dating, or any of that "getting to know somebody" the worst one "see if it works out", if you have to say things like, "let's see if it works out", it's not going to work out.

What I'd like to know is do bipolar people understand that a relationship is reciprocal? Because I feel as though it's only about her world and that I'm just a pawn in it 4 manic episodes and that if I have an issue I'm left on my own is this a classic condition of being bipolar that in essence is only the bipolar world that counts and everybody else is just an extra waiting to be of service and to understand how they operate and they don't have to understand how we operate I'm just trying to figure out how this disorder operates or not just looking for some help thanks PS trying not to give up but it's hard because everybody wants to be heard and listen to and loved and have their issues be a priority sometimes

Makes a lot of sense. If I was dating, I wouldn't tell someone of my mental illness just of fear being judged I would want the person to get to know me as a person first before telling them. I never been diagnosed with biopolar disorder but I am in the grey area of it my doctor says. I have suffer from depression and OCD but with medication, I feel cured. I am rarely moody anymore.

Don't get me wrong it's not ideal trying to date when you've got bipolar disorder. But it really does sieve the people that have the empathy to try to understand the situation we're in, in comparison to people without the disorder that would choose to judge someone with it. My main trouble is my motivation on trying to date. I only feel like I can put the effort in when I'm on a high and quite usually it takes a high for me to get into a potential relationship to then act stupidly and mess it up. I'm not blaming the disorder btw, it just makes things a lot harder because I've found that the timing of my dates has a huge impact on the direction my interactions take.

I'm dating someone who was diagnosed bipolar a few years ago and he's unwilling to get treatment. It's honestly one of the hardest things I've done in my life. I'm a psych major still in college, so this is definitely something I continue to study in all my classes. And I'm trying my best to understand. But I don't know what to do anymore. I basically came here for advice, I think is what I'm trying to say. From people who have it as well. Because some days he wants to get married, the next he hates my eternal soul.

Emotional chaos would define such bonds. I would love if love came my way and that things would work out well throughout...but...is that reality? Not really. BP1 is too complex a desease to manage just on your own. Two people struggling because of the illness of one equates to problems and eventual heartbreak. I just cannot see it happening. It's too difficult an issue to muster. Best just to keep alone, sad to say, than add to the struggle with another. A cure for BP1 may well be the only cause for hope - in having success in such unions.
