Hi all! I’m in summer session with housing in Stevenson and I was wondering if anyone knew about parking enforcement on Stevenson service rd. It’s right by the provost parking and I see a few cars parked without a visible permit and they haven’t been ticketed for a while. It’s a small lot with maybe 10 spaces, does anyone know if this gets patrolled by TAPS?
TLDR: is it fair for someone still struggling with bipolar to stay in a relationship when they aren’t fully stable?
Hi all, this is my first community post as someone who was diagnosed with Bipolar 2 and OCD about 8 months ago. I’m young for a diagnosis and I’m in my second year of college and in a relationship with someone I care about lot about. But I’ve been feeling this overwhelming desire to break things off, Ive been poking holes in our relationship, and starting to lose hope of it continuing.
We’ve been together for a short time (about 4-5 months) and when I entered the relationship I was definitely in a hypomanic state, but I stuck with it after it passed hoping I would be able to really connect with someone. I’m on lamotrigine as of lately and have been steadily increasing my dosage. Even though he knows about my bipolar, I don’t think it’s fair for me to stay with him.
We communicate about what could happen with me a lot, but I don’t think someone can truly understand the scope of what episodes look like unless you’ve been in it. I’m in a depressive episode and I’ve been feeling this more and more, I feel myself pushing him away and wishing he was gone, and then the next minute I feel like I can’t live without him in my life.
I swear these meds are supposed to work but I’ll be at my baseline and come crashing down, I just don’t see how I can give him what he needs, especially since he really needs constant reassurance.
I guess I’m asking if it’s fair for someone still struggling with bipolar to stay in a relationship when they aren’t fully stable?
P.S by fully stable I mean: being able to be in a baseline state and able to manage episodes (with the help of meds)
