Anyone diagnosed with bipolar have problems staying in one relationship?
Question:
Answers:
I am not bipolar, personally, but my dad had a mid-life bipolar episode.
I know from everything I've ever learned about it that it is an extremely complex condition and I wish that I could answer a lot of your questions but I'm not even sure where to start.
In my dad's case though, I would say that he had times where he would just suddenly feel ready to divorce my mom. Out of the blue and for no real reason at all. My parents have been married for nearly 20 years now and luckily they still are but it was a very strange time for him and the only time he had such ideas.
I don't know if that helps any, but I thought I could offer a point of view. I hope that you find the answers you are looking for soon though. :)
good luck
I'm not sure. I have a brother, a niece and a nephew diagnosed with bipolar. My brother was married and divorced only once, and it is usually years between relationships. The nephew and niece have been married for over ten years.
I would ask your doctor or therapist. I know that people who are diagnosed with ADHD have trouble staying in relationships because they get bored easily.
Good Luck to ya !
maybe u need to be by yourself. it is better to love you first then u love the other person later.
it has nothing to do with your bipolar. You have convinced yourself that others cannot and will not be there for you because of your bipolar. I also have bipolar and my problem is a little like yours. The only difference is it has nothing to do with my marriage, it has to do with friendships. People don't understand what it is like to have the illness we have and instead of being there for us they push away and we no longer try. We are the problem not our bipolar, we allow bipolar to control us instead of us controlling it.
