Have you talked w/ your bf about the
outburst? Have you asked him about his
medication? I know that sometimes a
bipolar person will have tantrums b/c
their medicine isn't working or therapy
isn't successful. Please ask about his
mental health. This isn't something that
he can handle alone when he's in a
relationship. He needs to explain how he
felt last night & advise you if he's
not taking his meds or if he feels he
needs a change in meds or therapy.
Not only has my husband begun to see his
3rd new therapist since we've known each
other (6 yrs), he's had his meds changed
several times. This is a situation you may
want to discuss with his
therapist...perhaps by making a joint
appointment. I've been to therapy w/ my
husband & his therapists in the past.
It's always good to keep the lines of
communication open. My husband has woken
me up in the past when he's felt scared in
the middle of the night. I'd rather he
talk w/ me than act out in a negative way.
I hope that helps. Believe me, bipolar
honestly can be managed, but it's not
easy.
You can do it if
you hang in there...otherwise, leaving may
be the only option.
