....Partner got a precursery diagnosis of Bi polar. We've struggling more and more, it has mean't we can't live together anymore.
I have ADHD and related, My partner has previously been unwell but not treated for similar bi polar symptoms....
They have always had visable 'issues'...impulsivity (money/jobs/safety/friendships) rage and memory loss, violence, aggression (uncontrollable temper), over excitement intermittantly...cycle changes...grandure, changeablity, undecided on life choices.
Things have gotten to the point with both of us not being able to control ourselves when it gets past a certain point and the house has taken a battering as well as eachother, time and time again. We have hurt eachother physcially...emotionally and we are both losing the will to know how to even remain friends with all these issues around for us both.
I want some advice really, these types of disorders obviously don't mix, and now we know more what we are looking for i am seeking guidance in how i can not only change my own behaviour but also try to help rather than hinder....for both!!!
Just....at the end of the line...despairing....
Thing is.....sometimes it isn't just those two facts clashing.....and tbh we haven't known what we were looking at before now. I began to read a book on bi polar and my boyfriend didn't like it.........perhaps more time is needed?
Either way i just cannot take the aggression for such simple things or conversations....the suicide idiation and going missing and getting drunkand hurt...(need i go on?) has been taking a toll.
Just know bi polar........adhd/anxiety....is along way from a good match, but if nothing else i would like to learn more about it so we can atleast remain friends....pref before we kill eachother
Any comments apreciated.....
