    I have been married to my bipolar husband for 25 years and he was just diagnosed last week. All I have wanted is to help him. He is now getting the help he needs and I think we will continue another 25 years. ❤

    This makes me so happy and sad. I met my gf through my younger sister and we immediately just clicked and had the most wonderful relationship for the next couple of months. Then one day she just messaged me saying that she gave it some thoughts that she would like to end things. It happened so abruptly I could not even process it because days earlier we just bought our flights for a holiday. But she told me that she's given it some thoughts and that it was bothering her for sometime now. I initially took it very personally and wondered what did i do wrong. I even went to a psychiatrist to talk about how I would feel because of how anxious i would become. Then my therapist told me about bipolar and i began reading up on it and everything i read is like a switch just went on in my head because i realise the symptoms that she had was overwhelming. I tried to stay as friend always sending her message of love and encouragement but she was always wary what i wanted from her and she was always very defensive and felt like i would blame her even when i explicitly told her I am not. It's really sad whenever i hear people saying that bipolar people should be avoided because if you've met my gf you'll realise that they're some of the most beautiful people you will ever meet. They feel so intensely and is so empathetic to everything around them but yet they're trapped inside of their head. I love my gf I really do and sometimes she says the meanest things to push me away and it's so painful when you know that this isn't the person you know and love.

It's going to take alot of discipline on your end to resist trying to make sense of the situation but you have to accept that you have to be the rational one if you want to be there for her. Don't go in with expectations just monitor her from afar resist contact and just give her the space and time.

    @@JJones-oi3jc It really depends and each individual is quite unique. Mental health isn't like regular sickness where the symptoms are rubber stamp similar. I think you just need to read up more on the disorder to better be able to understand it. You also have to accept it that there is a possibility that at the end of it, thing would not turn out the way you want it to be. I understand how frustrating it is trying to make sense of it all but look at it from another perspective, it's equally straining on you mentally and you just can't keep going on like this. I personally see a therapist just to handle all the emotional stress from handling the relationship.

The hypersexuality joke is fun when your girlfriend is the one with bipolar, I'm not triggered by the joke they made here not that kind of person but as a male with bipolar I struggle with expecting too much from my girlfriend. Came really close to having affairs, I want to be normal , I want this shit out of my head. I've gone manic and spent thousands of dollars on ideas that went nowhere.

    You need Christ in your life a Relationship with Jesus who was God. Prayer helps me . I have BI polar 1 Disorder. I am 31 and struggled with porn which is Adultery, weed, alcohol and wreckless violent behavior driving. Jobs that destroy I dont last . and hurts your brain. Just realize your a sinner For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Romans 3:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6:23 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. Revelation 20: 14 -15 Trust Jesus alone to save you today from Hell to Heaven. Jesus who was God died for everyone's sins. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Romans 10:13. Trust God prayer works. He hears He listen's and answers. Then Read the Bible everyday and pray Ask God to find you a Church. Everything. In Jesus Name Amen. And Now your going to Heaven for all Eternity and can never go to hell . You never lose your Salvation even if you fall away. But God will make you so miserable when you sin and go against Him. Glory to the Lord Jesus!

And they have no empathy for you they will turn on you in a second and they love to play the victim, and they are wonderful actors.

    @John Feenstra where you ever in a relationship with one? I was married to one for 5 years. She was an alcoholic too. And the fucked up thing is that I stayed with her because I thought she was going to kill herself. So I endured the suicide attempts the alcoholism the fits of rage and depression. Depression so bad that she couldn't leave the house for a month. One day on a fit of mania she had me removed from the house. And she's playing the victim saying the whole relationship going south was all my fault, man she's a monster, pure evil who loves to play on people's sympathies . And I fell for it. People have no idea what I had to endure in that relationship wrestling a knife from her because she wanted to kill herself, hiding her meds because she wanted to kill herself. Violently waking me up in the middle of the night because she had mania and flew into a fit of rage. Or just getting drunk and getting mania and becoming super aggressive. And I couldn't leave because I thought she was going to kill herself. And the kicker is that she actually kicked me out of the house. But then I realized why do I care so much about someone who is trying to destroy me. She has zero empathy. Just uses people and manipulates them by playing the victim. Oh I'm sick I had a terrible child hood I'm going to kill myself. And of course she's on goverment assistance so she's fine living by herself. And now that she's by herself and no one to fight with she's hasn't killed herself. So she ruined my life. Me giving up my house and my sanity to help this woman. And now I lost my job my house and she's thriving. And when I first met her I genuinely wanted to help her. The only silver lining is that she's out of my life and I couldn't care less if she kills herself or not.

    My wife is rapid cycling. Everything on this video seem kind of vague to me. For us, her depression will focus on me. That I am the one who is causing everything. It is so hard to hear the things I am accused of. She makes me admit to things that are just not there. It's wearing me out. I'm now having to decide, "Is it really all worth it?" Two suicide attempts in one month, all blamed on me. I can tell, now, when it is starting. Her face totally changes. Then I know...she will focus on something about me that is so trivial and make it into some huge thing. We will have to talk about it all night. Round and round. Always the same. I have to "admit" that I'm horrible. I'm not perfect, but not the monster I'm accused of being. At what point does my own well being outweigh the abusive behavior of the one claiming to be the victim?

    I’ve ruined so many relationships because of my bipolar & I was beginning to think a marriage might never happen for me. This gave me hope but at the same time made me feel worse because I should’ve been able to work through it& push through it like you guys have but instead I gave in to my bipolar symptoms & didn’t acknowledge that I was in a manic state of mind.

    Mom Kayla. I just came across this video and your comment. I am 60 years old and my fiancé is 43. She has bipolar disorder. I love her and honestly neither of us ever thought we’d marry someday. I have a rare connective disorder that affects me daily We see God’s hand in our life long struggles and preparing us for marriage. These words may seem hollow, but when the time is right God will put an incredible man who is prepared to love you as you deserve and how you can love yourself enough to love them. Be patient, be kind to yourself and some day you will be gifted with a special person who matches the special person you are. Embrace your singleness now and how you can be a light in the lives of others. Be a blessing to others and God will bless you beyond your comprehension. Trust me I know from the experience I have marrying my best friend, my desire and my beautiful redhead who keeps me on my toes. I wish the best for you!!

    Shalini K are you sure it's bipolar? Research borderline personality disorders, cluster b or type b specifically. For yourself, look into trauma bonding, complex and severe ptsd. I'm bipolar unspecified and have suffered horrendous emotional and physical abuse for the last four years. What you're describing sounds very familiar. I have a psych degree, but I'm no expert. However, what I'm suspecting is Narcissistic Personality Disorder, which is extremely hard to diagnose, and if depression is a factor, he could be the introverted, otherwise referred to as "covert" or "shy" narcissist. I strongly urge you to research it. There are KZread channels and limitless websites devoted to helping victims of narcissistic abuse. Leave as soon as you can. It will never change, and there is no medication that will help, and even the best psychotherapists struggle to effectively treat it. Get help for yourself instead. I recommend starting with life coach and abuse survivor Angie Atkinson, which how you find her KZread channel. She has a Facebook support group page as well. Best of luck and be safe.

    This video is sooo helpful. Thank you so much. I married a person who after only 2 years had a psychotic break, and has suffered with manic depression for 43 years, but in denial. I was a nurse and wanted to support him, but did not always know how. 25 years into the marriage, he began to have more breaks, and say he wanted a divorce. I didn’t know that this was his illness. We divorced in 2001, and his mental health has declined greatly. All of our 3 children are affected, and 2 have mental illness. It has been a very difficult road. I do not think I could have made it without GOD.Anxiety plagues me, like watching for the shoe to drop, or the tornado to pass through. There need to be more collaboration for redefining healthy boundaries and support of family, who suffer also with this devastating illness. Thank you. I admire you both that you are so happy, committed and loyal.

    Not every bipolar person has the same symptoms. My hubby has BP but doesn’t get hyper sexuality. But my ex fiancé did. Yes, you’d think I would have seen the signs from my ex fiancé but my hubby now didn’t show signs until we got married and found out we were pregnant 6 weeks after honeymoon. Maybe it was a trigger? Back then he wanted to give the baby up even though he was 38! But now he’s the best dad to our 3 kids and would never think those thoughts . When he’s sane, he’s amazing. When he’s manic, he’s very emotionally abusive to me

    My wife had a 4/5 day hypo-manic episode 3 months ago and we got through it while her work also had her speak with a therapist. She is having another episode this week; I am looking at how to find answers and what questions to follow up with. last time it was a little over 4 days, she expressed she had "forced episodes" to scare off people or groups who were being mean in high school. but 4 months ago was the first time i had seen it in our 12 years together. She is on day 4 today and just trying to figure out what to look for and questions to ask. But, I haven't noticed the depression side but maybe an occasional quiet/ sad day with regular functioning.

    It wasnt until 15 years of marriage that i found out that my husband is bipolar only because we found out his father has it. My husband kept on trying tell me that i had mental problems when i knew i didn't. He finally excepted it but doesn't get treatment, its so hard being married with a person that has mental issues. He can be so mean, it has been very hard on my grown boys. But they understand he has a mental condition.i love my kids but i wish i would have never married him.

    Congratulations. I am happy to see successful couples despite the negative consequences Bipolar Disorder can have in marriages. However. I was expecting some insights into the how tos of the successful marriage, but there was no tips given out in this video. Many videos are made to show the problems and the end results but not too many videos are made for revealing the steps one can take to start managing and controlling Bipolar Disorder. Nevertheless, watching this video inspired me to create my own videos in which I can give out a few tips to those who suffer from Bipolar Disorder since I too have Bipolar Disorder.
