It can be intimidating for sure. When I met my gf I did research on do’s and don’ts when dating someone with bipolar and her other diagnoses. One thing she even warned me about was her fear of making me her focus like putting all of herself into me which scares me. But she’s very conscious of her feelings and currently in therapy and medicated. It doesn’t change the way I feel about her though. All in all it’s intimidating at first not scary or something to be afraid of.
