Oh Josh! I'm so sad about this. BiPolar runs in my family, and growing up, both my mother and my grandmother were out of control bi-polar. I know that feeling...like, if I'm just good enough, get good enough grades, behave well, make breakfast, don't complain, maybe she won't lock herself in her bedroom all night again, maybe she won't try to kill herself again ( ... )

Thanks :)

I just want her to be happy, and when she is happy, I'm happy. It's just an internal defect that it's sometimes difficult for her to be happy, and that isn't anyones fault. I'm obviously internally defective as well, so we make a good team that way.

i feel my boyfriend who i live with is bipolar. He is nice then screams and yells at me all the time. I cant stand it and just try most days to suck it in and say it will pass. I dont deserve it. I know that but he is up and down so its like the hardest thing to deal with and I still havent figured it out if it is worth saving the relationship or not. He wont admit it or take meds or even talk to anyone. he instead blames me and the world for making him this way. Usually it is all my fault though and anything I don't do perfect for him.

You can't blame yourself for the actions other people take, ever. People can be products of their enviroment but it's still our own decision to choose how we react to something. We can be jerks, and yell and scream over something, or we can choose a more productive way to go about it.

Regardless, your boyfriends behavior is in no way, nor can it ever be YOUR FAULT. It's his responsibility to seek help for his condition, and if he doesn't want it, then it's your responsibility to protect yourself mentally and physically even if that includes removing yourself from said situation. Feelings make that sort of thing a lot more complicated but you have to protect yourself.

The absolute best thing me and Hollz ever did was to go see someone (therapist). Meds help too, but there will still be bad days. The goal is to not blame other people for how you/they feel. Each of us has total control of how we feel.
