I met a lady 2 1/2 yrs ago. Blew into my life like a hurricane.. Took it over...From the very beginning I noticed things were odd...Over the top emotionally...Every comment was like a knife to the heart... The yelling .. The running out in a panic....The constant validtation required....Wasnt till a year later that she passed a flipant comment the she panic/anxiety disorder.. The drugs were in her glove box cause she didnt want to be a drugged up zombie.. Once I new the cause and the fact she was doing nothing to manage it... I got angry and started calling her on her antics.. Needless to say that it was slow burn for the next year... She finally called it quits and told me to move on about 3 months ago.. I was devastated as I loved her deeply and wanted to support her if she would get help.. She didnt want to .. But we managed to go to a counsellor a few times.. I went back to the counsellor after the break up as I was devestated and was put on meds... The counsellor believed from my stories and meeting this women a few times that she was actually bi-polar and not panic/anxiety.. Never the less it took a few months of counselling for her to convince me that I had in fact done nothing wrong.. That all feelings in a bi-polar persons life are severely amplified and that normal things get to them much more.. Also.. A person as needy as her would never find anyone to fill her needs that she needs to fill them from the inside.. It has been 3 months and I am in a much better place althou still angry that she knew she had this affliction but wasnt up front and honest with me.. I believe the relationship could have been much different if she had been ... Anybody experience a situation similar.. Would love to know
