Being Bi-Polar, does it ever go away? and does it make a relationship not last?


Question:
I take medication for bi-polar and adhd. I'm not sure if thats a good mix. I've been taking it every day, but sometimes I still have my ups and downs. My boyfriend is taking a break with me and its been almost two weeks. I'm afraid with having bi-polar and him having anger problems makes the relationship to difficult. I can handle him having anger problems but I'm not sure if he can handle me being bi-polar. Some people say I do things for attention when I don't. Will my bi-polar ever go away or will it stay with me for the rest of my life. Sometimes I think I will just get worse, but can it only get worse if I think that it may. Also I'm not sure if I will be able to handle kids when I get married. I really want to have kids in my future, but I don't want to treat them bad.

Answers:
It'll never go away. The adhd prolly cause more problems than bi-polar. Being your taking your med's for it.
My brother has kids and does fine. As long as he takes his med's properly.
As for your present relation ship may not be a good mix with his anger managment problems.
you wont treat them bad if you understand that all parents need to take a time out now and then too. i have bi polar and adhd. i dont take meds. i work too many different shifts to be drugged up. calmness and the bible are my key things i use plus i try to think before i leap in all situations. now days i only show signs of internal problems when i am on my period...at that time of the month i try not to let any anger out and i am VERY careful with my speech. my current friend is a very calm person i think these are the only people that a bipolar/adhd person really should date. take care.
Studies have proven that rigorous exercise(7 days a week) actually can put bipolar into remission. Everyone who testified to that had the same problem in the beginning: they had to drag themselves to the gym and force themselves to exercise. The benefits did come though---I even heard a report of a teacher who had it that bad that he had to go on SSI for 2 years or so, but after he started running on a daily basis did he get better and now he is able to teach in the classroom again. So you might want to give this a serious try.
Another good way to beat it would be to take glyconutrients. They are essential nutrients helping the body to heal itself, and to put it in a nutshell: they do regulate the brain's hormone output as well. The combination of both, exercise and glyconutrients could really make you a much more healthy person who hopefully would not have to depend on medication any longer.
As far as relationships go: if your condition gets better your relationship will get better too. It's not that suddenly all is healed--but you will be able to see everything in a different perspective, work on your problems without any type of anger/hurt, and be able to communicate a lot better. Give it a try---I have seen one person who has bi-polar but got it into remission with rigorous exercise...it took about six months, but she did it and is off meds since 3 years!
Went to see the Doctor myself today about this very thing. I am married, my wife is pregnant - i know that it might be a bit of a rollercoaster journey but really, they will be a great source of joy.

You deserve the same, dont worry about anything and dont deny yourself the chance to be happy, having a family is great and it might be the boost you need.
I'm bipolar2. My husband has stuck by me through everything the ups and downs, mood swings, diagnosis births of our children..ect... If your boyfriend isnt willing to work through this with you then he isnt worth having. Believe me when i tell you you do need support from your partner. I dont think i could have even made it to the dr. office withou tmy hubby cuz to me there was nothing wrong. good luck
