Have you ever dated someone with bipolar or have a family member who has it? Do you have it yourself? Looking to hear about first hand experiences and to learn more about this illness.

It sucks

This is a trick question right? I think every female is a psych visit away from being diagnosed.

You'll get more misinformation than anything here, but I do have a family member that has it.
bottom line, it's hell. total emotional roller coaster

If its a family member with it, best of luck. It will take a lot out of you over the years.

Dated a girl who had it during college.
After we broke up, she one night broke into my parents house (during summer and while they were gone and I was there alone). And threatened to cut herself in front of me with a fairly large knife.
We argued, and somehow I said at one point "frick this, I'm going to bed." And I left her downstairs. She came upstairs later and she did cut herself, just not on the wrist or anything.
Her breaking into the house was pretty damn scary though. She rang the doorbell literally 60 times. I should have called the cops.

My ex had it. It's hell dating someone with it that doesn't take their meds. Basically you feel like you are walking on eggshells with them the entire relationship and your mood begins to be based off what mood they are in.
This was my best solution to dealing with it....

A few people (two of them therapists, but only once of whom actually met him) suggested that my ex-husband may have it, but he was never formally diagnosed, and I don't think he does.

You hit a 340 yard drive on a par five straight down the middle and you smile.
You slice your 2nd into the pond and snap your 4 iron in half.
You chili dip your drop back into the pond and laugh about it for 20 minutes.
You slam dunk your 5th from 130 yards out and drive the cart into the lake because you didn't do it on the 3rd shot.
A lot like that.

What Type are you asking about? They are VERY different depending on the Type.

EX-wife is bipolar. One minute the world is fine and full of rainbows, the next the sky is falling and everyone is an a-hole (I am an a-hole anyway, but she knew that to begin with). It takes a really strong person to put up with someone that is bipolar and refuses to take their meds.

It's a nightmare.

From what I can tell, it's all about the proper diagnosis and finding the right combination of drugs.
Do that and it is manageable.

I had a family member with it who decided to take his own life when he stopped taking his meds. As others have said, it's an emotional roller coaster and hell on that person.

It's real and sucks. If your significant other is bipolar let her take her Zoloft and get out the way for a few hours.
Everything is smooths out after a few hours.

My best friend dated 2 bipolar chicks.... Back to back. It was crazy. They fake who they are until they've got you in deep in the relationship then they unleash the fury.
Posted on 3/19/14 at 8:19 am to LarrytheGolfer
How long have you been with her?
Posted on 3/19/14 at 8:21 am to LarrytheGolfer
I've dated two chicks with it. It was terrible and exciting at the same time. I'll say one thing, you literally never know what to expect. One minute she's awesome to be around, the next you want to get the hell out of Dodge. Secks was pretty great with both, but the rest of the bullshite was not worth it in the end. Another similarity that both of the girls I dated shared was that no matter what, it always seemed like shitty things happened to them. Both had parents die at a young age (one was suicide), one's brother died while we were actually dating, one girl's house was destroyed by a tornado at a young age, etc. The list goes on... Regardless, all bitches be crazy. Just find the one with the amount of crazy that you can handle. Chances are if she's legit bipolar, you won't be able to handle it. Unless you're a beta amirite?

I'm going to give you a little advice b/c I have a close family member with this. Go ahead and leave this relationship. Nothing is going to change. I'm sorry to break this to you but there is nothing, not even medication that is going to make her better. It requires an effort on their part that's not possible for them partake. Your life will only go downhill as long as that's in your life. That unfortunately is the cold hard truth. Years of counselling may work but again, it requires them on a level of honesty and openness they're not capable of.
