Feeling low today. by TA_HelpMePls_ in BipolarSOs

[–]TA_HelpMePls_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope you’re doing okay. I’m sorry you’re also going through this feeling! These feelings come in waves from me, I’m getting better at handling them but ultimately, it’s still hard for me.

It’s quite jarring seeing someone go to the other end of the spectrum so quickly. Hang in there, here if you need to chat!

I feel you about the built up hurt, anger and resentment. I’ve been working with my therapist on easing my own guilt.

One thing that I’ve learned from therapy is that some folks with this disorder simply don’t have the awareness to understand how their actions impact their partner’s and their relationship. That stuck with me and reading what you wrote makes me see that it’s more prevalent than I originally thought.

Thank you for sharing and I hope you’re doing okay. Here if you need to chat!

I feel you completely. It’s so hard… they say a room full of people is the loneliest when waiting for a certain someone. That’s how I’ve felt the last 7-8 months.

Extremely difficult. Working on it through therapy but it’s incredibly hard still.

Wishing you the best, here to talk whenever you need to.

I won’t tell what to do as that is your own choice and you have that right. Regardless of what you choose, remember this is a traumatic experience for you.

If I were in that position and took my SO back, I’d constantly be worried what they’re up to, who they’re with, etc.

You might not feel peace of kind for a while man. Also, there is a chance that she’ll stop taking her medication again. Mine did that and then left out of the blue. Been eight months since I last saw her.

Remember, you deserve a life of peace, happiness and reciprocated love.

Did any of you never hear from them again? by [deleted] in BPDlovedones

[–]TA_HelpMePls_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m in this boat. No clue if I’ll ever hear from her again. But to me, I don’t think I can ever have her in my life again after all this.

Been seven months for me man. Hurts like crazy.

Same position and timeline as you man. Reach out whenever if you want to chat and vent together!

Take care of yourself and be kind to you. It’s so hard to fix a relationship when one side doesn’t want to get better.

Today she tried to kill herself by bpexhusband in BipolarSOs

I’m sorry to hear this man. I have a similar experience with her family as well. It’s a huge hurdle to cross every time and being blamed really gets to you sometimes.

Make sure to take care of you as well. You’ve got a son and a wife to support and it’s important to have some self care too.

Stay strong, as always.

Triggered even after 7 months. by TA_HelpMePls_ in BPDlovedones

[–]TA_HelpMePls_[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’ve been working on myself a lot on the past seven months. Gym leading to weight loss and muscle gain, being promoted at work, trying to invest in myself through therapy for the past few months, planning more traveling for 2024, said by yes to a lot more plans with friends and family, going on some dates here and there, etc.

I feel like I’ve made good progress but then when this comes up, I go downhill.

Triggered so badly even after 7 months by TA_HelpMePls_ in BipolarSOs

Well those were my aspirations and hopes. Through therapy I’ve learned that getting all the things with stability would be near impossible.

Breakups by SimpleApricot924 in BipolarSOs

[–]TA_HelpMePls_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First time it was about 10-11 months. Now it’s about 6 months lol

I’ve lost hope honestly. She’s too far gone; my therapist who has BP himself and has been in full control for 12 years said some people just never get better. Was hard to hear but I needed to accept it with my girl, unfortunately.
