a Complicated Disorder Bp Boyfriend
Posted: 06-24-06 22:38pm

Now we r back to each other, my 27 years old boyfriend is bipolar i, we broke up months ago, but he came back to me realizing that i'm the one for him, and wanna marry me... We have been together for 2 years, and like the most people who have bipolar boyfriend said, he was like on and off everyday, he wasn't taking any meds during these two years, but when he came back to me, I told him that I can't come back until he visit the shrink and take medications. He accepted and went with me to the psychiatrist and now he's on wellbutrin and orapex but stopped lamictal.

Anyway, I thought that I shall give him the chance, perhaps he can do it this time... I've read many times that bp people when they take their meds they become stable and good.

But I think that the meds he took wasn't working in the right way, he started a blue episode (severe depression) and tried to commit suicide yesterday, we took him to the hospital and thanks god nothing happened, he took an over dose of orapex, but it wasen't that much to affect him.

Today he went to the shrink who told him that he has to stay in the hospital for about a week to have a full care ...

My problem is: when he was starting this blue episode he began to tell me some bad things he made, before he knows me and during and after we broke up. The bad things were that he had many relationships with many girls just for sex, not more... And he told me that he cannot make the depression an excuse for him... While i'm saying to myself that's a good excuse for him. I'm trying to encourage myself and accept.
The causes of this episode are the regrets, he's regretting all what he did the past 5 years, telling me that he's not a good person to rely on and that bad friends abused him while he was disturbed and that he was so weak, and didn't realize what was wrong and what was right and so on...
And he tried to kill himself for these reasons...

Anyway, i'm so optimistic now, that he can be good (god willing) and stable. He started to pray but he still cannot go to work :s

he's so angelic, but sometimes he cannot calculate consequences of such actions so he can do wrong things, and realize the wrong he did once he's stable and start regretting what he did...

May someone give me some advices? I love him and I don't him to cheat on me in the future. Can medications make a good progress with him?

Thank you...

This is his first day in the hospital, he forgot that he told me that he'll go to the hospital, I called him, he told me that he went to this hospital by mistake, and that he was kidding acting that he's depresed... And told me that he's not depresed at all and that he doesn't need any medications and so on... He tried to commit suicide the day before yesterday. And the psychiatrist told him that he's in severe depression from a long time...That's why he needs to go the hospital...

My bf told me today that we r not more than just simple friends, and that he arrived to the hospital for me ( he means that he started to take medications to get back to me, coz it was my condition) he told me also that he cannot deal with me again, because it's me who drove him till he went to this hospital... I know that all these words are not true because first of all he's still so depressed, second: because he feels that he's different from all natural people just because he's in the hospital. So I know that I shall wait untill he'll be ok.

But i'm a little worried that this idea ( that it's me who drove him to go to the hospital ) be saved in his mind.

I asked him if he'll miss me, he said yes i'll miss you.
Please someone reply me, i'm so sad and I need some advices...
I'm trying my best to forget the past, and his strange relationships...

Please help me
