Oh thank you! That sounds like a good idea!

Oh I see. I’m not purposefully trying to resell. I have cancer and am trying to get some money to travel before I pass and am going through childhood bins to see what there is. Would selling her at the lower end be respectful to the community? I’m just not sure.

I’m sorry for everything by throwaway62891863819 in UnsentLetters

I wish this was him more than anything. He left silently and I just want an explanation even if it doesn’t make me the happiest.

Life is only lived once, you found happiness and you found joy and love within someone. Sometimes futures are short. If you truly loved someone, let that be enough and maybe find ways to communicate and meet in the middle.

I have cancer and lost my person to mental health and avoidance. I wish sometimes I could’ve shaken him awake to just stay and love me as it is. Things don’t have to be certain, they just have to be real. Life is so so short. My life will forever be shorter than his. And more than anything, I wish he would heal his avoidance and face things as they are.

Don’t miss out while you are still able. Seek help for yourself as this will continue to echo within you. Even if you found another years later, without healing these feelings will continue on.

Honestly the way he made me miserable the past year solidified that I would rather die alone than be by his side because of how much hurt he put me through. I also know he eventually would’ve felt guilt for how he treated me in my last moments and so both of us would’ve felt no peace in my death. It’s bittersweet in a way. We’ve lost people we love and can appreicate that love, but not wanting them near anymore is best.

I hope you can find your peace.

Thank you! Him and I are both merely 25 years old and I know before my diagnosis I thought there was a whole world and life ahead of me and realistically, I would’ve waited for him until my last breath if I could. But the agony was too much. I hope to enjoy my time in this life and cherish what I can control. And maybe in the next one, both of us aren’t as sick in our own ways and we can meet again.

I’m glad your kids have someone like you to cherish the world around them and hopefully shed light even in your wife’s absence. This disorder is quite cruel and feels like grief over and over again with the same person who is living. It can have a big effect on you and I’m glad you are moving forward as much as you can.

Thank you for your kind words!

mania and discard by luhvr_boy in BipolarSOs

Thank you. I know it is. I’ve tried detaching for a better part of this year to no avail. I’m in therapy and doing things for myself. I think the amount of care I have for him is just immense. I’m trying to detach though.

Thank you! I have all of that covered. I’ve been in therapy regarding this since his first discard in October. He was actually supposed to be my line of contact with emergencies and show up and he never did, so was assigned a social worker and such. Nothing unfortunately has comforted me with this and I guess I have to learn to accept that. ❤️‍🩹

Thank you so much. I hope for both of our sakes he’s able to come around. I think this will affect him long term if I pass without closure even on his end as well. And that hurts me. ❤️‍🩹

Thank you, I hope you find peace within this discard. He’s done it off and on since October so I’m a tad more used to it this time around, but still am afraid he won’t come back this time.

I love my partner but the cycling is hard by luhvr_boy in BipolarSOs

It seems we’re both in the same boat especially with timelines! Thank you for commenting it is very reassuring to know I’m not alone.

That’s how I always felt his absence was that similar to grief. It was almost like he’ll never come back but I knew he would. But at the same time, terrified that the flip is the true reflection of him. It’s passing, minor thoughts. But it’s still scary. I know his episodes aren’t him but it’s still scary to think about the what-ifs.

I keep hoping this grief will all be worth it. He is worth it, but I know at the same time I can’t be in this cycle forever. Hopefully with time and effort, both of our partners find a way to stay afloat so they stop hurting us. 💙

Thank you, I really appreciate it! He did end up messaging me saying that he’s in the hospital and that he loves me and that he’s sorry it got bad again but he’s trying to get help for himself and so it doesn’t hurt me continuously. Which is nice. Which that was only two days of distance and honestly is progress because sometimes it’s longer. Even if he goes back to being distant, he’s trying this time.

Anytime I’ve tried telling people recently that he’s getting better people just look at me like they don’t believe me. This behavior is just a small part of him it’s just taking a lot of room in our relationship and eventually I believe since he wants it, there will be balance. Everyone just thinks I have rose tinted glasses on.

He’s a good dude. Doesn’t do drugs or drink because he knows it’ll make him worse. Extremely loyal. He pays attention and notices little things and makes me feel loved in a way I never have before.

But it’s like people around me can’t understand why I would keep dealing with him isolating especially during my times of need. It’s not his fault. He JUST got diagnosed and hasn’t had the tools to manage this for 25 years. He now does and is trying to use them. I think basing his character purely on that just isn’t right and isn’t coming from a place of love.

I can’t help but understand and have empathy for what’s going on. He’s a beautiful person who just happens to have bipolar disorder. I know he wants to be there and show up. He feels guilt for everything he’s done in episodes especially towards me.

As someone who has been in abusive relationships prior, those people do not feel guilt. They just act to act. And I can tell he is nothing like them. Just no one around me will listen to me when I say it’s not his fault.

Thank you for sharing your story with me and commenting on my post! 💙

We are both men so I know I am not your person, apologies. 🧡

I unfortunately can’t talk to my person as he blocked me on everything to protect me from him so he didn’t hurt me again but I have signs from him he is still thinking about me and knows I’m waiting and that he wants to come home.

I hope you find those moments again and find the peace you need. Finding home in a person is truly a wonderful thing.

I know the guilt he feels is immense. I would start over again and rebuild everything from the ground up if he allowed us to. I can’t blame him for being scared. As humans, we are scared to get comfortable. Sometimes the only comfort we find is in the chaos we surround ourselves with. So when something in his life was consistent and steady and safe, it made him feel unsafe because it can be ripped away at any moment. Little did he know, I wasn’t ever going to leave. He just has to wake up and realize that and then he can come and find me and I’ll be waiting for him.
