Are there stories here of couples making it?
Sometimes I have doubt it will get better. People in my life have already written him off and told me they don’t want him around.
I know they have to want to be better and work on being ok.
I know there is a lot of venting here but there has to be some good here too!
I know most of you have felt this. The discard then the come back. It’s so hard. We stay, we help, we support, and sometimes at the expense of our own mental health. No one understands the struggle until you’re in it.
I don’t have anyone in my life besides my boyfriend’s family that understands it. The people in my life just see an unstable back and forth relationship. They leave. They come back. I’ve had one friend be sensitive and supportive which has been a relief to not feel judged by someone in my life for my choices to stay and support.
It’s hard. To have understanding support from people in our lives that don’t see the everyday or understand being a bipolarSO.
I know I couldn’t even imagine how someone with bipolar feels going through this disease, struggling daily. But it does affect everyone.
Telling ppl in my life, “he broke up with me”…..”oh now we’re together again” repeatedly.
Anyway. Just talking to the void. It is a struggle.
