On the list of the worst triggers for bipolar disorder mood swings, relationship troubles are right at the top for me. I used to walk into new relationships blindly. I would think, oh well, if it doesn’t work out I will just deal with the depression.
What a dumb plan! I can’t do this as a person with bipolar disorder. The bipolar will always win. I played with this illness for a long time around romantic relationships. I’ll go out with this guy, just for fun. I will be fine.
No, I wasn’t fine. When it self destructed, I did as well.
I have a different policy now.
Nothing is worth a terrible depression.
Nothing. We all have to protect ourselves from bipolar disorder by watching who we let into our lives. It makes me so mad that I have to be so careful. There are a lot of fun people out there who add excitement to life, but if they add mood swings as well, it’s just not worth it!
What about you? Is there someone in you life today who needs to go in order for you to be stable?
