Dating someone with bipolar disorder

but her getting less sexual has nothing to do with her being bipolar. just thought i'd point that out.
 
Indeed, that's a given. Less sexual usually means loss of interest.
 
...agreed about the Godspeed, because it can be an overload of information that causes a mental buzzing of light that zaps the partner.

Exactly! We aren't that crazy well not all the time. Plus we are freaks in bed as a rule.

so fucking true- a work colleague who had an insane bipolar girlfriend said "crazy in the head equals crazy in bed". this girl once stuck her used sanitary towels to his bathroom wall and used to leave her foot scrapings in a pile in the middle of the carpet. eurgh

as a man with bipolar during my manic phases i was really quite something in the bedroom (according to those i was having it off with)
 
It's pretty damn easy to get diagnosed as BiPolar. I was even diagnosed BiPolar like 8 years ago but I am clearly not and have not been anything like that for some time.

People can get better over time. I'd say it's only a problem if the medication is making the person a zombie.

My ex-girlfriend, who I still date from time to time, used to be diagnosed BiPolar and was on Seroquel and benzos for it. I encouraged her to try to migrate off the medication- which she managed successfully and now lives a much healthier and happier life.

Not every case will be the same.
 
Well its a moot point now anyway. She totally flipped out on me today and accused me of some pretty serious stuff. Which I am in no way responsible for (as far as I know). It would have been fine if she did it in a respectful manner but she exploded on me and insulted me, which I don't appreciate. At this stage I'm done with her even as a friend. It shows a fundamental lack of respect. The red flags are too numerous to ignore. Think I'll just stay single for a while since every girl I date seems to be more insane than the last. It seems I can't attract normal women :( ha
 
So, your cycle of dissapointment continues. Break it by going for someone whom doesn't need fixing.

There are reasons we do the same things over and over.

Why do you think you are choosing to create and follow the same or a similar pattern in your romantic life?

Indeed. Eitherway way I'm taking an extended haitus from dating, probably for a couple months at least until I get tired of being single. I think the issue isn't so much that I go looking for these types of women. I click well with a lot of solid girls as well (I have many very cool female friends) its just that most of the normal ones are taken or for some reason don't find me their cup of tea in terms of dating. The crazy ones I click with as well and they are usually singe (gee, wonder why) and are usually interested, so its usually them that end up pursuing me. So naturally I'll give them a shot since at the beginning they don't seem too crazy. Granted I know I deserve much better, and my friends have told me so on countless occasions. I think what it comes down to is being much more selective with who I give a chance to. I've got a lot going for me so I really should be more discriminating. But I've definitely learned a few lessons from this one. Mainly wait until you really know someone before you get too involved, and once again don't discount the red flags.
 
>> I think what it comes down to is being much more selective with who I give a chance to

I pretty much just learned this and follow this now within the last year. I've just come to the realization that I would rather be single forever than miserable with another person for the rest of my life just so I'm not alone.

>> Mainly wait until you really know someone before you get too involved, and once again don't discount the red flags.

Yeah, I've ignored them myself, because I have such a connection with some people. Usually, the flags come out quick and your gut tells you that something is wrong, but then that other side of you tells you not to be so paranoid, and you let it go. You really have to listen to your gut, because the flags are usually there. I totally know what you're talking about when you say "I'll give it a shot." I have done it way too many times. It seems like the men who have a normal job, aren't drug addicts, and have some kind of ambition and desire to better themselves are all taken too. LOL
 
Indeed. I'm really hoping that after this one that my shit storm days are over. I thought I had dated some crazy girls before but this is the only one that actually induced fear in me. Not a good feeling at all and really puts things into perspective. Just happy I managed to get out early and unscathed. Of course the new joke is that with all the crazies I attract that I should do my medical residency in psychiatry.
 
lol Be glad you got out after your first argument and it wasn't several years, living together and stuck with her because of kids. You've got too much going for you to bring yourself down with that kind of behavior. The crazies can suck the soul out of you.

I was Diagnosed at 23 with BiPolar and they put me on Lithium for a while and it made me a zombie, could not think straight, was always in this Muddled Haze, I have more of the Anger that comes along with it, and got off the lithium after 6 months could not take it anymore.My Long Time Boy Friend of 20 years now learns to deal with me when I get angry it like a wave that comes over me and it wont stop...Its the only way I can describe it.
