Hello Everyone!

I am totally new to this forum and came across it while searching for some help to my situation over the internet.. so, let me start off by telling u my situation..

For almost a year, I had been single and went out with friends one night.. I was walking out of a bar with some friends and we were looking for a certain place and ended up seeing this guy and girl walking down the street.. I asked the guy for directions and, somehow.. both the guy and the girl ended up hanging with us for the rest of the night.. the guy bought me drinks and it sort of unraveled from there.. we started hanging out a lot and talking everyday.. went on a few dates.. it was PERFECT. seriously amazing! he was everything i have been looking for in a man... sweet, sensitive, caring, passionate, intelligent... all the things any woman wants. as we continued to casually date for about a month, he told me that he is bipolar one night....he said that some days he doesn't feel like caring or having any emotions..and that there would be days where I would have to respect that he needed his space. He told me that some days he was afraid because he didn't feel emotions and.. on another occasion when he was having a low point, he told me that he may never be able to fall in love. This bothered me.. but then, the next day he told me it was just a mood and he apologized. personally, i have been on anxiety and depression meds for over a year now.. so it wasn't a big deal to me because I understand mood swings because I have them occasionally. i supported him because i was starting to develop stronger feelings for him. After a month of casually dating, he asked me to be his girlfriend.

As we dated, his best friends told me this was the happiest they've ever seen him.. his mother said the same thing.. I connected with his family and my [now ex] boyfriend and i hung out a few times a week.. we weren't by any means attached at the hip, we talked all the time and cared about each other very much.. we would sit and have long, intelligent conversations over wine. Everything was perfect.. His friends and I got along very well.. and went out quite a few times. I felt like i had finally won... I really was so happy... well, until 2 days ago.... when he told me he was confused about how he felt and didn't want a relationship anymore. When we met, he told me that he was looking for something serious, someone that he could get to know because he was getting older (he's 25, I'm 24) and I was looking for the same thing. This really just came out of the blue.. I saw him that night before he ended things and everything was fine. He was cuddly and sweet like always and I didn't expect anything bad coming.

I am guessing that this is the bipolar disorder coming through? I have read through a whole bunch of other discussions here, but I thought I'd post my story to get some advice on what I need to do next. I am not one of those girls to rush into my feelings or emotions, but I feel like I was starting to fall in love with him, because he was really a great guy and we connected on so many levels. I sent him a text earlier trying to be nice, asking him about his day.. because he has been stressed lately with work and starting up school again.. and I know this could have been a trigger for his state... so I tried to be a good person and supportive.. but he didn't even seem like himself texting me back.. it was so informal and short.

Personally, I just need someone to help me here. Whether you have been in the same situation and what not.. He is on meds, a mood stabilizer and also on anti-depressants.. just to add that in there.

Can anyone help me make sense of this?
Thanks so much!
