relationship bipolar disorder
Is it possible to have a successful, happy relationship with someone with bipolar disorder?
especially when the very unpredictability of the person and the manic, creative times are what excites you?

Understanding Bipolar disorder:

the information is easy to read and understand.
Having bipolar should not preclude someone from having and enjoying a happy and lasting relationship.
It will help if the person suffering can be honest and let the other know when they are recognising what phase of the illness they are in – in the same way that the one not suffering can get as much information and understanding about the illness, these things will help each other.
Take care and good luck.
Hope this proves useful.
