so i posted here abt 2mo ago when my (now ex) partner was first admitted to the hospital. they presented with mania w psychotic features that only became serious after getting a new weed pen. i was able to stay with them through that first hospitalization, which was 3 weeks. they got out and were clearly still manic, but not in psychosis anymore. not even a week later they were admitted again, as they were back in psychosis. they got out of the second inpatient stay exactly a week ago. we’ve been limited contact, but i got a text from them yesterday that was really concerning. to put it bluntly, panicked psychosis ramblings.

every time that i think we take a step forward, we take another three backwards. i know that there is a way out of this, i have family who have have REALLY struggled w bipolar disorder and have stable structured and medicated lives now. what is it gonna take?

So we broke up about three weeks ago. We were together for three years and though we're technically on good terms, it ended horrifically. For a while I thought I was going crazy, but now I'm just really sad and anxious. My mental health has been really low and I have so much on my mind.

How have you guys handled breakups? This is my first major heartbreak and though I know this too shall pass, it's even worse almost a month out.

I've regularly had eye tics for several years. They've been bad lately and they really hurt. I was wondering if anyone here has ever had an eye injury due to their eye tics? Is that even possible?
