Managing bi-polar in a rs
This topic was created in the Health forum by virgowithasoul on Saturday, August 6, 2016 and has 4 replies.
Is anyone clinically bi-polar here and how did you manage your life with it? I used to date girls with bi-polar (somehow or another) and have been diagnosed with BP2 a year ago. Did any of you struggle keeping a balanced life with it and how did you identify the swings and manage them? I'm still trying to grapple with the condition and live a fruitful life.
My partner has mentioned she find it tough dealing with me on my highs and i do get out of control on either spectrum.

I don't have it but i have dated someone that has it, my best friend of years has it and my dad is extreme in his, he woudlnt take his medication and dealt with major issues. It tought me how to be compassinate and more understanding for those that do suffer. i get that it's something people whom do have it can;t control.
being the other in that pair can be trying but you also have to have a pretty good understanding of what's going on, has she read up on it and what happens when you cycle? i suggest, guiding her in that direction if she hasn't. co-counciling can help as well.
you will for sure need someone understanding, paitent and strong, they can't let you walk over them or be co-dependated with you, that won't help at all.
Also the drinking/drugs magnifies it so if you are doing either please do it sparingly
Wish you luck dude

@Op would you accept bipolar or adhd in a partner and work it out?
@firstdecantaurianwoman i did and will still do so if my partner has it. I just didn't know how to know them well enough back when i was younger. My past partners were the one who helped me grow as a person.
@justagirl yes she has read up extensively on it but practical experience is always different. I tried guiding her. The only thing is that its emotional urges, especially the highs. I'd just go on a tangent and do activities and stop only affer it is done. Then i realise i'm going too fast in doing things.
Has anyone done self-exploratory methods to manage themselves, like what you did to know yourself better with the condition? I wake up some days feeling like a different person and questioning who i am due to the chemical imbalances.

I figured that since we're not going out anyway, I went on ahead and fucked her sister, a Gemini, this evening while she was out and about with her mother and little brother. I feel really guilty though. But then a part of me doesn't really give a shit. I

If a Scorpio woman is in love (she says that she loves you), what would cause her to then cheat on you? Particularly if you haven't violated her trust? I keep reading about how loyal this sign is in love, so this situation seems a bit odd.

I know a Leo who says he actually hates when someone says "ok let's do x right now" or "let's go to this place to have some fun"
When he told me that, I was surprised because he's a Leo!
I mean, I have Leo influences too - Moon, Venus and Midheaven

I wonder if this is a common theme with Libras since 2012. Almost nothing has been going right in my life since mid-2012.
I finished my PhD in 2013 and have been without an academic job for the past three years, barely surviving. My love life has left m
