Do Bipolar Relationships Always Fail?

My wife and I both have bipolar. That's considered to be impossible by some people. We've been married for 12 years now with no signs of trouble. I think that we understand each other better than someone without bipolar could.

I need some help and advice I think IV fallen in love with someone that is bipolar and they have cut off all communication with me I'm not sure what to do they said they felt overwhelmed and thought about me all the time and had quit sleeping and felt they weren't giving me what I needed out of the relationship I need some advice pls help this person means so much to me.

I have never been in a relationship with someone with the Bipolar illness and it gets frustrating at times. Maybe I’m
The cause of some of it because I don’t know all about the illness. Trust issues are not a problem but lack of communication is the main problem and again maybe that has something to do with me. I need help. I love her and truly want a life with her.

Finally at the age of 51 I am taking the necessary steps to get help with my bipolar. I had recently started an amazing relationship with a God fearing woman!!! My first time, cus generally they are not very God fearing. Didn't take long to show my signs and shes gone. She quite possibly could have been the one that understood me, but I wouldn't open up about things. I owe it to me to get help, so if this ever happens again I will be ready to meet the challenges!!!

I am one of the lucky ones. I have rapid cycling bipolar. Diagnosed at a very young age. I met my wife when we where only 14. Now almost 29 years later we are still together and happily married. I have tried suicide twice and cycle rapidly. But one key I have is understanding how to deal with your cycling and not effecting your loved one as much as possible when cycling. Routines help. Any help I can give feel free to msg

Well, yeah, bipolar relationships will always fail when you're switching personalities every few hours for months on end like I was.
Honestly, even with Seroquel Lithium and Gabapentin I'm still dealing with severe symptoms of rapid-cycling BPII disorder, BPD and severe panic disorder.
Medicine seems to be useless for helping me control my behavior and just breathe (unless it's nicotine, which is arguably my most helpful mood regulator).
My ex picked up and left me without a word one day after a particularly bad manic episode where I got into using fentanyl and she found out. I deserved it though. She deserves better than me.
Was with her for a year. Thought I was marrying her. Tried to kill myself 20 times in a row with the fent after that and needed to be psychiatrically hospitalized.
I'm 18. Where did my life go? I'm going to die with this disorder and it's going to control me for as long as I live in one way or another because it's a chronic chemical issue in my head.
Bipolar II disorder destroyed everything around me and I was responsible for picking up all the pieces. My hypomania is exactly like Mini-Me pushing all the bad buttons in my brain until I cave and give into a dangerous impulse. I'm not done picking those pieces up yet.
But after many months I got over her leaving me and recognized that I need to stay mentally stable, occupy my time with sober people and smoke until my lungs fall out of my chest instead of trying to find romantic love and compassion that I'm never going to receive from a normal person. It just can't happen. I can't afford to risk things going wrong.
I'm also happy to be sober today, with the exception of smoking 2 packs a day.
Normal people will never understand the emotional dysregulation we suffer with, and it destroys everything around us even though we're not the ones in charge at that point.
I've made mistakes and have committed unspeakable acts during manic episodes that I will have to take to my grave with me because I am truly a horrible human being when my disorder kicks in.
Step 4 is not for me, because if I took a written personal inventory and confessed every wrong I did to another human being, I'd be rotting in a jail cell for decades. Bipolar disorder is an unmanageable disease sometimes, and it makes people do things they're not proud of to say the least.
I'm cool with having all my friends and family in NA, I don't need a psychonormative woman to break my heart or cheat on me and send me careening off the nearest bridge/get me put in jail because I killed the person she had an affair with/send me back out into the world of active addiction because I just flipped my shit and decided to try overdosing again.
I'll stay away from romance for my own sake.

I met gf and we hit it off great. I am not perfect and we did mutual chemicals but first time I experienced falling in love meaning kind of a two fold deal. Love for what she gave me which shot my dopamine into orbit. Always said I had oxytocin and cotton I'my love with ya. Well that stopped but the chem changed to another type. I always provided she seem to stay depressed. I wanted her to be well ! Communicaton was hard not just cause of that but didn't realize bipolar M/D was and she like to cut she said it numbed her pain. Sometimes she ok but entertaining her and I coddled her much. I told her she could be herself when she came to my place n fam. Later on I was hurt when I realized she wanted to go looking for outer social things that I never thought she would try but only knew because my immediate family was sick . 2 brothers passed away. Then when my dad got unwell . I overwhelmed by loss of brother, dad, other things. She started coming in and I didn't she was texting another man . I didn't understand her update, more distant, couldn't rest, and gave me a hard time . Later she left as going to work. She didn't like our lifestyle anymore !? I cried for weeks, Point of breaking anyways cause I missed my passed away bros,. then I was caring for Dad. I should have got more support but I don't think I got much in these situations. I was always her comforter, moral support now I think about it. She took Prozac 14 then quit cold turkey then worked 23/4:years but partial contributer but less communication. I wish I knew ghosting was this bad, bipolar is very real. Only wish I knew what to do. Miss n love her n ppl I converse with don't get it like I do know. Was made out the bad guy but loved n didn't understand til now but most I did cause read on it . Most ppl hear sound just like me.
