My boyfriend and I recently starting dating after having a very on again off again situation-ship (for lack of a better term) for years. He was diagnosed as Bipolar a few months ago. We have had to go long distance for a few months, but have experience doing it due to our past. He visited me 2 weeks ago and we had the most amazing time together, but after he left he has stopped replying to me more and more. Now I get a text about once a day. I am very independent and have a lot going on in my life so it didn’t bother me at first. But recently I can’t help but feel alone and insecure, as it feels like we aren’t even dating. I confronted him about it, and (hours later) got a response along the lines of “I haven’t been on my phone, idk what to tell you.” and “I didn’t like how my new meds felt so I went off them so that might have to do with it.” I emotionally wrote back a long text about how it made me feel like he didn’t care about me or want to talk to me, but I ended up deleting it and telling him that I love and care about him, urged him to talk with his psychiatrist to get new meds, and just asked for honesty if he was feeling depressed. I love him more than anything and do not want to breakup. I just don’t know how to deal with this/when he will return to normal. I am seeing him again in a few weeks and we will be back in the same place permanently in a month. Sorry for the long post, I am just lost and need advice.
Edit: He has been in therapy and seeing a psychiatrist since he was diagnosed. He has taken 2 different meds at this point.
