Serenity13, thank you so much for taking the time to read my post and also for sharing your experience with this illness.
"To be labeled as a bipolar person is almost like a death sentence...
To be told you may have to take mood altering drugs the rest of your life because you can't function as a "normal" human being is a horrible blow to anyone..."
This statement touched my heart. I'm trully sorry you had to endure that pain, it must of not been easy for you. I can only imagine the pain you must of felt.
I can only guess what is going through his mind right now. At first he wanted us to take a six month break and now that it is completely over and that we don't have a future together. I don't know what to think or what to expect. It is very confussing.
To me he is the man I love and not an illness. I accept him how he is, the good and the bad. Because that's what makes him, him. He has an illness but the illness is not him. I would like nothing more than for him to seak treatment. For his own peace of mind.
I hope one day he tries to reach me, so that he can know he's not alone. I can be with him every step of the way.
