boyfriend help: Hi, - Help.com

Hi,

I’ve been suffered from Bipolar for almost 10 years. In the last 2 years, I felt much better almost like normal but now it’s back. I feel like I’m back to square one over again. Now I’m losing everything. My boyfriend is leaving me because we had a fight all the time though I don’t blame him. He doesn’t know I have this symtom. Also, I agree that it’s better for him to leave. Now I’m moving back to live with my parents. I think they are too over protective. They always think that I won’t get better. Especially my mom tends to freak out every time I have a mood swing and that makes me angry even more. I feel like she thinks I’m a freak. I don’t know what to do anymore.

Thank you.
I wish I could tell my boyfriend that I have bipolar. But I know we are living in the world that everyone is fighting for himself and no one needs a burden and I don’t want to be his burden. I’m scare. I don’t want to go through this again. I thought I was cured.

Have you ever had someone listen to you and allow you to work through this without diagnosing or evaluating you?

I’m trying to get a feel for how you are feeling but each time I read when you say how you feel it is an evaluation.

“I feel like she thinks I’m a freak.” This is an evaluation of her and yourself. Not a feeling.
“I felt much better almost like normal” This is an evaluation, not a feeling.

If you want to know what to do, I would suggest starting to connect with your feelings in a way that you can verbally describe them.

I will venture a guess,
“I feel like she thinks I’m a freak.” Means. I feel really sad, I want how I feel to matter more than what I do.
“I felt much better almost like normal” I feel more peaceful, Inside I think this is how it should be more like.

Do you see how you are mixing feelings with evaluations? or Needs? I think this could be a lot of your confusion of what to do.

There is a book that I LOVE, iT’s called “Speaking Peace” by Marshall Rosenberg. He explains this in detail. There is also a free feelings list and needs list on his website. cnvc.org. He calls it non-violent communication. Sheesh what a horrid title if you ask me. It doesn’t mean you’re violent. I wish he would get a better name. Would you give that a look.

Also I agree with roofdonkey, We are here, we are listening. Whatever you need. Advice or to be heard. Hugs!

Thank you.
You are right. I’m not very good at explaining myself so how can I expect anyone to ounderstand what is going on inside me.

I don’t mean at all to give you something to feel bad about yourself over. I just think that you would be able to find the understanding you are looking for if you were more able to express yourself and understand your own feelings, thoughts and needs.

We care, for sure and some people are skilled enough to pull out the feelings and needs and wants out of what someone is saying. I’m getting there, but sometimes I need a little help from the poster to maybe do some searching and let me know, what is the actual feeling and the need.

You are being very willing to receive advice. You’ll get some good replies as people see your genuineness. Not that you haven’t already of course. Hugs!

Have you checked with a physician?
Perhaps what you are needing is to be diagnosed by someone who is best qualified to serve your needs medically as well as socially.
Do you have a history in your family of anyone else being bi-polar?
