Anybody have experience dating a bipolar bitch?

[oxymoron]

wow. You dated her long distance for two years and discovered she was mentally ill at the 7 month mark and was able to still make that work? That's incredible.

...and Thanks.
She's always working and working out now with an occassional rough patch here and there but pretty much has her life back.

You're welcome.

Long distance is hard enough as it is; I'm impressed.

I love how all the resident board certified psychiatrist come out of the woodwork when people start talking about mental health conditions. Its enlightening!

Dude, you do NOT want to be in an intimate relationship with someone who has active mental health condition(s). You have been and will continue to be traumatized by their actions. Believe me, I have been there. You cannot fix them so stop feeling sorry for them and do yourself a favor and get the fuck out. Thank your lucky stars there are no kids involved.

Great post smurf, the first part especially. It wasn't until a laymen pointed out that maybe I was dealing with a mentally ill individual (a long time ago) and pointed me in the right direction that caused me to finally understand what was happening and to this day I can't thank her enough for that.

Example- And btw this is the third time some shit like this has happened this week ,a few hours ago I got home from work ,brought her food from panera($17) one fucking meal.She ate,I fucked her,we watched a movie,I got up to take a shower,while in the bath room I yelled Honey will you please go feed Brixxx (my Brazilian fila) ,no response ,I walk out a ask her the same thing,she's on the corner of the bed with a blank stare,I say thank you,5 min later she walks in the bathroom smacks the razor which is on my face out of my hand and says its your fucking dog you feed him(keep in mind this woman hasn't worked in 2 years I support her and her son,in my house) I said is that really the fucking way you wanna talk to me! She says fuck you I just remembered I have a date have a nice fucking life and left with a bag of clothes,45 min later she called me and said I'm sorry can I please come home,ill do anything! MY FUCKING LIFE SUCKS! WTF

That, my friend, is what I would consider a "wake up call" moment. She did something so completely out of left field and violent that could have potentially harmed you (safety razor or not, shit can happen. I had a friend who stepped on a safety razor getting into the shower and ended up needing stitches).

Okay, I told you I had a bipolar boyfriend, right? I clearly remember my wake up call moment. I lived in an apartment and the main entrance doors to the complex had eye level windows about one foot square. Boyfriend and I get into an argument over something stupid and he tears out of the apartment. Dumbass me follows him. He slammed the main door to the complex so hard the glass shattered and the shards flew several feet into the hallway. If I had been just a foot or so closer to him I would have ended up with a face full of glass shards. He knew I was behind him but he never stopped, never looked back. I knew, at that moment, he just didn't care.

I was only 17 but I began to realize that anybody that could do something that dangerously thoughtless I didn't need in my life.

I'm going to assume you're older than 17.

I've heard of people who are bipolar and function without medication but they usually are very sharp and have really good personal insight to what's going on in their minds. People with no insight, who represent a danger to themselves and others can't pull it off. They need psychiatric and/or medical management. More importantly, they need to WANT to not be irrational assholes. She's just being a selfish c-word and you need to stop letting her shit on you.

But she said she'd do "anything" to come home.

Since she's hot, those are powerful words.

Fuck that. No piece of ass is worth continuing this cycle of insanity and disrespect.

Agreed...time to count your blessings and work on getting yourself healthy again, here is an old prayer you use to remind yourself..."God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change (your girlfriend), the courage to change the things I can (yourself and the situation you are in), and the wisdom to know the difference (you know what you need to do, otherwise you wouldn't be here seeking justification for what you are feeling and for overall support). Obviously you must be a good looking guy if she is a hot gal as you described her, are you concerned that you won't find another if you let her go, and yes the hardest part of holding is letting it go...but for your overall health, you need to let her go.
