I love roller coasters.. and sex! But I don't want a relationship with someone with mental problems. I have to deal with them at work....

there is nothing wrong with mentally ill people!!! They need love to!

I was with someone who was Bi Polar. The problem was that she wasn't medicated in ANY way. She was in complete denial ( until after she left and figured out that trying to kill the one you love isn't a good idea ). Now she's medicated, but I would never be able to trust her to keep up on the meds.

Absolutely correct as long as they are addressing their issue and have it under control.......taking there meds and under a doctors care. The problem is far to many people don't take their med and don't take care of the issue is the big issue for people in a relationship with a person that has mental issues.....

I went to my doc an she said I dont need meds.... but when I tell people that I do have it they stop talking to me

That is happening in 45% of relationships

manic-depression is a touchin my soul

Thanks to all for the comments.

Just because someone is bipolar doesn't mean they are bad people. She's a beautiful person with a mental illness. She warned me from the first date.

I just don't think I knew how bad it could be for everyone involved.

She may never come back and I may move on before then. Time will heal all. However, I'm gonna read everything I can on the subject so I'll be better prepared should there be another.

Grace & Peace to all.

Gotta agree, dated a woman that told me up front she was bi polar once, thought to myself, no problem she was a basket case to say the least. It was like, oh baby, your so sweet, stop and go in the store, come back out and "Where the Hell have you been, you been messin around" five minutes later and its like Oh, your the greatest,

<--- certifiable and doesn't stay on meds

Some people talk about me being high-maintenance as if that's a problem ..

my x before this last x went back to his x which was the x before me

I myself would likely be bored with "normal". Speaking from the perspective of having bipolar disorder II (depression to hypomania, a milder form of mania), I fully expect that "normal" people would likely be nervous around me, but that's their problem, not mine. My own illness breeds creativity and I see that that the gifts of the illness greatly outweigh the curse.

Now, borderline and schizoaffective disorder, well that's much more accute than my own condition and a bit of a challenge. I don't know that it's possible to have a serious relationship with someone who's borderline unless she could trust love, which is a challenge at best.

As Someone diagnosed with Bi-Polar, I feel this is an unfair Myth. Their are many Bi-Polar People functioning VERY Well in Our Society, but like anything else You don't hear about the Good. Once My Diagnosis was made a lot of Things started making sense and Questions were answered. After They got My Meds and Dosages changed around to the Proper Ones there was a 1000% Improvement. PLEASE don't Profile and Categorize All of Us because of some.

EVERYBODY HERE IS FREAKING NUTS!!!!

Now hurry up and make me a sandwich..........


I dont have all night!!!
