Q: significant other with BD

i am 36 years old with a boyfriend who is 23 years old. He has Bipolar and ADHD. At times he was very sweet and nice boyfriend. On his days of episodes, he's very mean to me and as if everything that goes wrong was always my fault. I tried my hardest to understand his situation but there are times Im on the edge of draining my energy that it consumed me.
I don't know where to get my strength to go over this, I want to let go of him but I loved him that much that it hurts me if I leave him like that. I scared too that he might commit suicide if I leave him, I dont know what he gonna do.
If he's on episode of depression, anxiety or I might call insaness. He always says he just wanna die or I will just shoot him. He cant take it anymore and those B_ _ _S_ _ _. I actually dont have time for all these drama because my life itself is a big drama. But I could let him go because my heart over rule my brain.
Please give me advice on how I will deal with this. I think I am losing my self control and might draw myself with him in the dark.
People of the universe, please spare me some wisdom and strength. Thank you!

counseling?
Hi it sounds like you have a lot on your plate, does he go to counseling and take meds?? If so you need to speak with them, if thats possible. It can be a very draining position being the partner. There is a lot of Bipolar in my family, and my son is severe adhd. He is 28. I know people sometimes "like" to be in the manic phase but unfortunately the good high feeling will end and they fall hard into depression. Even if he doesn't go to counseling I would suggest you see someone, I think a professional would be the best to advise you of this situation. just my opinion . GOOD LUCK
