Why does my boyfriend always pick a fight with me when I'm in a bipolar episode?
I've noticed a pattern that whenever I'm having an 'episode' be it mania, depression, or irritability, my boyfriend picks fights with me. this is when he should be there for me and supporting me, not making it worse! I feel like he is trying to send me over the edge. Is this considered emotional abuse?
I have been perscribed to lexapro and havent taken it yet. how serious are the sexual side effects?
Answer:
I would tell you that he is not supportive at all but you already know this....if you suffer from this bipolar first hand if he truly loves you he should Inform himself about this condition...secondly you are more than welcome to look for help and to realize that this is not your fault and that there is help and there is also people out there that are mature enough to understand and not label you just because you are having an episode does not mean you are in a bitchy mood..and yes I would say is emotional abuse....but is all in your hands you have enough to deal right now...not need him giving you more depression....Boyfriend this is for you...You are very inmature and she is a wonderful Girl....your loss buddy!....
Good luck princess!
He is scared and that is how he re acts to it as he feels helpless.
some people get off on the power trip of making you go over the edge when you are at your weakest. he probably hates the fact you have this weakness and takes it out on you. doesn't matter if it is emotional abuse or not. If you don't want to be treated that way, move on. He won't change.
no. just bad timing ; ]
There are two possibilities
1 - you have anunsupportive and undeserving boyfriend
2 - you are overly sensitive when you are in your episodes and that is why you remember them as being so bad with him
You have to decide if he is a "dangerous" person to you (ie does he cause your problem to be worse, if so, find a better boyfriend)
removing black spots on my face--how painful is it? can you share your experience?
Ask yourself whether the episode affects your perception. Maybe you just percieve he is picking a fight when he is acting as he always does.
How do you keep from destressing?
Are you sure he is "picking a fight" and you are not just reacting to his attempts to "be there" with typical bipolar instability
Why do some parents don't like to tell you who are your brothers and sisters?
My guess would be that he feels it's the only time he can vent on you. If you're going to be mad at him anyway, it would be better to get all his gripes out of the way then, than to trigger an episode when you're feeling fine and he feels like he has to get out some frustration, right?
Does passionate compulsive disorder impair judgements?
Maybe your behavior is having an effect on him. Maybe he's feeding negatively on your vibes and reacting like that instead of thinking about your situation and trying to help.
Anyone spy any side effects from lamictal(lamotrigene)?
Jennyann 4 is right. He get nervous and doesn't know what to do.
