Answers:
Yeah...the only thing you can do in that situation is to start liking some else ASAP as a distraction.
Yeah same, i've been through the same thing,,,,, and um, ahh, its a real hard one. Just look after you and do what you think is best for you!
contact him. Let him know that you want to be there for him but it is hard. Help him with his meds and as the abvoe person has mentioned...find other friends as well...to take the edge off a bit.
I was very attatched for 4 years to a man who I swear to you had severe bi polar disorder, but he was obviously too good to seek treatment. He would do the same thing to me. I got so sick of not knowing what kind of mood he was going to be on from one moment to the next. All I got to say to you is good luck!!
the best thing you can do for him is be strong in yourself. if you are going to fall apart everytime he falls apart you will bring each other crashing down.
Ultimately you have to decide if the good sufficiently outweighs the bad because its no good if he thinks you're just sticking around out of guilt.
if he is unbalanced enough to do anything to himself as a result of your leaving then he will anyway whether you leave or not. you cant stay for that reason alone.
I have already come to terms with the fact that my partner will end his own life at some time. I can only hope its later not sooner. if you are not strong enough to help him through (his whole life basically) then you may end up hurting him more. you are his support system.
without you he will have to rely on himself and he at least knows himself. he sought treatment so he can rely on himself to that extent.
Maybe you need someone happy or at least more even tempered. only you can decide that. he definitely needs someone strong. of that I am certain
