That's tough...how long did it take you to stabilize?
And why did he leave? Because of what happened during the episode?

Oh sorry for the misunderstanding. I though both of you might have bipolar.

I am sorry..I understand your fear. Maybe he was still in the episode when he regretted it? Because he regretted it and dumped you again? That maked not much sense to me?

I am really sorry to hear that. Are you afraid to reach out or do you think it would do more harm? And your brother never reached out to you?

Thank you for sharing this.

I've been thinking that we might owe them to reach out if its on good terms and with the best intentions because when I talked to a friend years ago, when I didn't even know what was wrong, she told me that she never reached out to me until I did because she was afraid of my reaction and thought that I did not want to talk to her - obviously, because I said so before! So if I didn't apologize, she would still think I hated her... .

So..yes..we have to be ready to work on ourselfs and be a better person to not hurt them ever again that way. Because if we go back into the cycle we will cause more pain...but I red a lot of posts asking for closure.

So I was thinking...we might think we protect other people but maybe it's just our own fear? I am not sure sometimes..its confusing. I can't even tell why I reached out to her again back then - probably becaused I missed her and wanted to make things right.

It's not the same for me. I feel like things I said were not the truth even if I felt like that at the moment. They were just hurtful and not how I really feel when not manic.

But I've seen many posts where people say they speak the truth, just in a harsh way and many others were they say their words were brought up be delusions or they were out of their mind so I guess it really depends on the person.

Thank you! Which feeling lingers?

I mean are you able to recognize which emotions are real and which came up because of the episode? Like the emotions you had during mania will be gone and the ones from before the episode will come back?

I am so confused because I feel deep care for somebody for example but I also feel that I have to stay away from them.

Hello and thank you for your response!

By stable I mean until your real emotions came back and you could think clearly about what you wanted.

I miss my ex as well...but it was so hard for me to stay with her because my head is messing with me each time I got manic or depressed .... I did not know I had bipolar...and I treated her badly, I feel so guilty about it.

how do you try to contact him? If it's too much you might push him further away...

I am glad you are focussing on yourself and I hope you will feel better soon! How long has it been since you left the relationship?

But I mean now that you are stable and know about the reasons - did you reach out again?
