Should I leave him?
I had a violent bipolar rage episode in front of my partner. I’ve never had one before. I left and afterwards he never checked in on me. After a few days I reached out to him to apologize and ask for support in seeking treatment for the ongoing mixed state (which I’m doing. All good. Don’t worry). He says he won’t talk to me for at least a week.
While I respect his need for space, I also think that his abandonment of me in the middle of a crisis might be a reason to end the relationship. (That is, if he doesn’t leave me). We’ve been together about a year and a half and he is my primary support person.
I would love to hear what my bipolar friends who understand what this is like have to say about it.
Clarification: I was only violent to myself and my phone. Crying, screaming, throwing things.
