Support via the Internet - The Internet can provide wonderful support. One can contact a larger group of people in similar situations than is possible in most communities, and the aid and support they offer is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. There are no meetings to schedule.
Chat Groups - Chat groups provide more immediate support and information. It is difficult to keep current with all the chat groups forming on the internet, but a few of the more longstanding ones are mentioned here. Chat sessions are sponsored by many of the major BP sites listed on BPSO's home page, by several private support and information sites, and by some of the groups in the mailing list section.
Support in your own community - As wonderful as it is, the internet is no substitute for the support of real people in your own community who know the workings of the local mental health and legal system.
if he wants to talk, just listen, don't speak. if he wants to shut off as u say, then leave him alone till he comes around. meanwhile u can read about and do meditation, so that u will not worry or become frustrated over his behavior, and u will be able to deal with him better
Meds, meditation to relax, keep a journal to keep track of the moods and what happens (what triggers) these moods.
Maybe there are specific triggers that happen when he gets the moodswings and if you guys know what some of them are, it will be easier to control.
Good Luck!
Be there for him, hold him, watch him to make sure he does'nt do anything dangerouse and love him. Patience is the key. Remember not to take it personally because it's him, not you. Ask him often how he is and if he needs you.
i know its hard to deal with the best thing is support
The description you have given of your boy friend, it indicates that he needs medical attention. Please consult a Psychiatrist. I hope he would come round.
Just be supportive, compassionate, loving and understanding. Also seek out a Group that you can share your concerns so that you know how to handle any problems between you and him. All the best of luck!
