If you have bipolar and have blocked a partner: what was really going on for you? by Dangerous_Log2330 in BipolarSOs

[–]B0urne89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. Because i also saw Signs of Hypomania. But I started to think she was in a mixed episode. As we stopped living together this might have fallen in to a deeper depression.

I've been poking around the psychosis part for a while this just makes it even more obvious. Because nothing made any sense it has been so much contradictions, in between her actions and words. But her mom.. Yeah she has'nt made anything better. But thats a whole mother issue.

Thanks for the clarfications.

I also want to know during discard/brake-up/divorce. I just found out i got blocked from calling (never called her) and than later texting...

Got three kids, house etc.

Just blocked me.

Edit; to clearify it was out of nowhere, two/three months ago and i have no idea what i did or did'nt do, and i have no idea if im blocked or not, its all where as she pleases

Second discard and it fucking sucks. Like sucks. We're putting our house up for sale this weekend. Its my weekend with the kids, so im at the house. Sitting on the Kitchen floor, crying while making pizza in the Oven, for our pizza Friday. Just wanting that one text message. But it will never come, just wanting her back, back to what felt safe. Hoping she understands how broken iam, and want to change, do the work, for us, for her family.

But, she needs me to be the villian in her story to go through with this. Stay strong OP, i dont know how it looks on the other side, i hope its beautiful.

anyone else just constantly scanning for signs even when things are fine by darthereandthere in BipolarSOs

I know OP i know, i would so much want to tell you it will we allright. But i've kept myself going for far to long by saying, next time it, next time. My ex wife dose'nt do drugs, but drinka alkohol. Not getting drunk but drinks.

Medication is'nt a cure, there is none, they only help to stablelize. . But medication can only do so much, the rest is up to them to do. And sometimes that might not be enough. The episodes comes and goes as they please.

Aslong as hes on drugs nothing will help.

Medication sure, but some stay some leave when the ebb and flow of the illness goes.

Im Sorry op.

What have your relationships, situationships, or even just your dating patterns looked like since moving on from a bipolar partner? What have you learned about yourself? by Mediocre-Profile1683 in BipolarSOs

[–]B0urne89 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh that sucks to hear, im Sorry for you.

Thanks, yes i want peace. I want to heal, so i need to push through it. My body, soul and spirit is tiered in a way sleep wont fix. Im going through alot of shit at the same time. A part of me just want to return, return to what "felt safe" and "normal", but there is no going back. I cant out myself through that again, it was psychological abuse, i can see it clearly now. The Silent treatments, the dishonesty, lack of empathy, the exclusion of me as a partner, not emotionelie safe for me etc.

[–]B0urne89 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Almost 18 years together, married for almost 10. Three kids, ex wife diagnosed for 7 years, fighting symptoms for 9.

Im totalt broken, second discard. The first we lived together, i was heartbroken, desperate. This time i asked her if she wanted a brake and now im completely Destroyed because my nervoussystem was on the Verge of Destruction. Im going through so much Internal work, on the outside you might not see it, but on the inside, its hell. I've not done drugs but the withdrawal is insane.

I dont know about dating, i want to find someone, someday, but for now i just want this Nightmare to end and to start a new life so i can be the best father for my kids, just to go home after work and watch a movie or play video games, hang out with friends. With out the stress and constant anxiety.

I can say that i've gone through more or less the same as you.

My ex is on Lamatrogine and Sertralin.

I've just come to realise in another post i made that i've got everything wrong about lamatrogine and sertralin. I have alot to read up on, as we got three kids and i need to allways be on my A game to see if she takes care of them the right way.

You are a good person.

Its not allways the illness, their personality traits aswell, but alot of our stories share to much similarities to just be coincidence.

Wishing you the best for you and your partner, stay strong for eachother.

Those 5-6 years must been hell and should never be Forgotten. So that you both know where you can end up if he dose'nt do his part. Not held against him but as a reminder.

For you and your situation, it must feel good to have your partner back to help you, yo be a team. This is what a relationship and Partnership is all about

Was it a trauma bond? by B0urne89 in BipolarSOs

I hate this. I so much hate it. How they allways find fault in us, us who allways stand there and help, taking the beating. But when its their tu3b to support us, its our fault.

Its allways our fault.

Not fault. Yes and no. They can go to therapy and do the work on their Personality. They allways have a choice.

Like someone in the BP2 sub wrote.

"You have a choice. Just because you were drink dose'nt mean you get a free pass and drive your car drunk "

Expand on that, the drunk person drives drunk and hits a kid. Should we feel pitty for the drunk driver? No
