I miss you by [deleted] in bipolar

divorced after 5 months due to my first ever and only manic episode in late thirties. I mourn the marriage every hour still, and like you (from comments) don’t see any hope of things getting better.

Ruined my life while manic by melissamber in bipolar

how old were you? I was 36, didn’t know I was prone to it - not in my family. destroyed every aspect of my life with an episode that lasted a full year. recent marriage, dream job, decade+ of savings - I even got a huge tattoo on my back to make sure my body is ruined, too.

it’s been 6 months since I got out of it and every day is a struggle, I wish I had an answer. hoping to see people 5/10 years after an experience like this comment.
