| What if you meet someone on here thats bipolar and is an alcoholic?
Posted: 8/12/2005 10:07:36 AM | | I am so sorry you are having to deal with this. It is very correct that people with bi-polar suffer from a true psychiatric condition that cannot be fixed by behavioral therapy. It is not something that the average everyday person can fix for someone people with this disorder must seek proffesional help and be regulated by medication. I sincerely hope that you find a way out of this situation | |

Posted: 8/12/2005 10:11:19 AM | | Now now, I have been diagnosed as being bipolar, I guess I am mild though because I am okay. Ask anyone who knows me. Street drugs and alcahol make things like that worse. I am not in anyway at all defending the psycho you are talking about however. Be Careful and Blessed Be. | |

Posted: 8/12/2005 10:15:57 AM | | Run for the hills.I was in a long relationship with a person with a mental disorder and a drug problem.I can't even begin to describe the pain and heartache I went through.I know how you feel.There is no reasoning with this people,and trying to ignore their behaviour is almost impossible.The best thing to do is let the police know your situation and hope for the best. | |

Posted: 8/12/2005 10:24:24 AM | I am also Bi-polar. I have been fortunate that drugs and alcohol have not been an issue for me as far as me taking them, but I married drunks and drug addicts. I regret what I put my kids through. I wasn't diagnosed until I was 45! It all makes sense now.
I know that with the right meds and therapy a person can have a great and productive life. Even if a person isn't Bi-Polar - if they are drunks or druggies - RUN AWAY! You can't fix anyone. They have to do that themselves.
I am sorry that this man found someone so sick they can't get out of their own sickness. We are all not like that. God bless you and I hope this gets resolved in a way that keeps everyone safe. | |

She called me Dad all last year and still does if she see's me. I was the only thing that stood between her getting hit with a studded belt that this chick likes to wear to the bar. | |

Posted: 8/12/2005 10:54:29 AM | | I have read up on bipolar a few years ago and they are alot of people that have that from what I have read.If you know somebody who has it or is related to you and has it,its very hard on that person because I think its close to scizophrenia.I went to check up on some books at the library to see about this person I was talking too,I wanted to know was there a reason for his behavior and I found that some of the symptons they had listed he had at least 4 of them.also those type of people are very dangerous.its called Borderline Personality as well I think or they both are similar.its been awhile since I read on it.but I do know its a dangerous thing. | |

Posted: 8/12/2005 11:08:42 AM | UNMEDICATED and many bi-polar people also have borderline personalities. For them, everything is black and white. Everything is yes and no. There cannot be a gray area. She wants you all to herself and misses you horribly and drinks to numb the pain she probably felt even while you were together because she knew there was a time she would eventually lose you. You really cannot blame her because this is a brain chemical imbalance. She "thinks" she loves you as a possession. It's the "I hate you, don't leave me" syndrome. You aren't going to get help from the police unless she acts upon you. If she does something to you or your property, unfortunately. Once she does that, they can take her into custody and will take your case seriously and hopefully put her into a hospital for a 72 hour hold to observe her. They will put her on some meds and get her on the right path. And she will be okay. She will hopefully leave you alone once she gets to that point. But harassment is taken lightly these days. She has to do something serious for the police to take a serious report.
I'm sorry for the bad news, friend. Feel sorry for her because she lives this nightmare in her head all day long and it's probably not the first nor the last time. She is in pain. It is a nuisance for you, yes. But just be cautious and hopefully she will latch onto someone else or go away.
Good luck.

Posted: 8/12/2005 11:19:08 AM | I know my sister was fine and ok when she was first diagnosed with it.
Then as the years past, each mania seemed to get worse and worse.
she would take her medicine but like when you and I get a antibiotic for a cold we feel better so the need to take the medicine is not as urgent. We feel better so there for we do not need more. Same thing with some people with this illness.
It is so sad now. 8 years after her diagnoses...
she is on lythium, and two other drugs.
Her mania's were so bad that each time she came out of them. There was a piece of her taken. Her medicine is so high that it is hard for her to carry on a conversation with.
If she does not take her medicine. She has the Mania's. If medicine is not balanced right... it could cause a mania.
Taking the medicine can cause brain tumors and many other health problems.
I feel for any one that has a Loved one or has this disease.
I know not every ones is at severe...
But still very hard to watch the depressions and everything else that goes with it.
My sisters husband has stood by her side and taken care of her through all of this.
They were married before she was diagnosed.
I think someone coming into the relationship knowing that the person has this. Needs to be understanding and in for the long haul. Able to accept this and stand by her or his side. | |

Posted: 8/12/2005 12:38:18 PM | You need to look for some way to protect yourself and your current g/f.Does your ex have family members around who have their heads wired right?Are you on good terms with them?
I would alert the people at your job and your g/f's job to be on the lookout for this woman and not let her into your respective places of work.You may need the help of a private investigator and an attorney.
A final warning:These types are VERY manipulative.Do not listen to ANYTHING she says or fall for any BS promises.The sooner you put her into your rear view mirror,the sooner your life will get back to normal.
I was married to a dysthymic/bipolar for 12 years.I shudder to think about some of the things I went through now.For some of them I think euthanasia is the only answer. | |
