I have been with my boyfriend for 2 1/2
years, he just recently moved to my state
to be with me so that we could work on
getting married. But in the past things
have happened to really make me wonder
what is going on, with never getting any
answers. To start off I knew about 6
months ago he started taking Xanax but
told me it was because of stress. I
believed him, and then he was put on
depokote for head aches. He started his
new job here everything was fine, we were
planning on moving in together on Aug 1.
Everything was set up at least that is
what he told me. This time just as past
times everytime we plan something really
big, something always seems to happen to
stop the event. Always it seems just 2
days prior to the event he says something
has happened. I am really surprised that
he made the move here, but it was
cancelled a time or two, before he did it.
Now, a week ago Monday he called and told
me to stop packing he doesn't have a job,
he said that he got laid off. Even though
I had a back up plan he made sure to mess
that up competely as well. I am furious
with him, because he says that he has been
bipolar most of his life and I am just
finding out and all this other. Does
lying come hand in hand with being bipolar
or is this something competely different
that I am dealing with. I can understand
trying to deal with anything associated
with his disease but not just a liar. Any
suggestions.... any help. Or am I
fighting a losing battle.

Lying Posted: 09-11-07 07:16am
Sometimes I lie to rationalize my
symptoms. I'm not just lying to others
I'm lying to myself to say there was a
reason or someone to blame for my behavior
when I'm manic or psychotic. When I lie
though I generally believe what I'm
saying..I did this because...when there
really is sometimes no rational reason for
my behavior...it all has to do with my
imbalance...not an excuse but sometimes
the disease wins and effects what I do or
say.
