relationships bipolar
help! my bipolar disorder is ruining my relationships with friends and family!?
my boyfriend of 8 months, recently broke up with me (and I mean by the newly 3 hours ago) and I know that this was because of my behavior and drastic mood swings in rapid cycling. I love him and he loved me (do not know if still does) and really want it back. I was also away from my parents and lately cannot even hold a conversation with them without it turning into a shouting match huge. I am on medication and my doctor upped my dose''''recently, I do not think this has helped any. i plan to call and make an appointment at your office opens, but I really could use some advice as how to bite the bullet and repair my relationship with my loved ones. I asked Q IS IN THE MENTAL HEALTH OF PART bipolar and would appreciate any tips or advice on the relationship part.
On reaching my teenage / twenty years (not I know how old he is) I was diagnosed bi-polar to be such because he had severe mood swings and a very uncontrolled anger problem, and they had me in for many of the drugs that could barely remember my own name. This is what I did: I went to my family members, apologized for the way they acted and tried to pass as long as possible with those who were positive … negative people are just going to do worse. Get outside, especially if it's good, because the sun and the natural heat release endorphins, which sits on top of the world. Furthermore, it did me good to spend time by myself, but it should only do this if you feel well with the loneliness after a break so recently created. Grab your mp3 player and hit the road. Another thing that helped me when I thought I was cycling states mind was to write it all … anger, fear, sadness, even my happiness … and then again every few days and read it, will help you learn to recognize when you are starting to cycle and this may help your doctor plan also come with maybe a better deal. Bottom line, you deserve someone who is going to understand and be at your side, not behind you. Being bipolar is very difficult and not need someone making things worse for you. I hope I helped at least a little. BTW, I have since been rediagnosed, and was I only had post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and I went through a couple of years of therapy and feel great now. I am married with 2 children … follows the chin up hun, things always get better.
