At this current moment in time, I am dating a boy who is bipolar. I myself was diagnosed with depression and severe anxiety as well as an eating disorder. When i first met my boyfriend we used to joke around oh i am bipolar and your depressed so we must be perfect. But things drastically changed, we used to talk everyday, hang out all the time and he always called me baby, honey, dear, etc. But now its different i feel like were butting heads more, i want so badly to be closer to him and hold him when hes down but he just distances himself from me. He has days where everything is perfect and it seems like we are both actually normal, then there are other days where, i feel insecure and afraid that i am losing him because he is impolite or rude.
He has bipolar two and I have done a little research but something wont let me grasp the concept. I don't understand him and i desperately want him to. I don't know why he is so distant one day and so there the next. I am really clingy so I want to figure this out but I don't want to lose him. Is there something wrong with me..? us? or maybe are we not grasping the severity of each others disorders?
