Like many girls I always seem to go for the wrong guy. I'm such a hopeless romantic I put up with more than I should for longer than I should in an attempt to make things work. I know it's not easy dating me...I mean I'm bipolar, but I wish that for once the guy didn't just blame me. Because of my illness I'm always the blame for anything that goes wrong even when it's clearly his fault. When I have genuine feelings about something he'll just attribute it to my illness. I am me. I am NOT my illness. I guess I'd just like to know if there's anyone out there who's hurting like I am. I've given up all hope in finding a soul mate. I've all but given up on love and the human race.

First off there is no reason to tell a guy that you are bipolar.You assume its your fault for this reason ? I have been married for over 25 years and am bipolar. But never told anyone. If its that out of hand you should try meds. As for the guys you date. Try going for one that is the total opposite of what you have been getting yourself into. It worked for me.And please don't put yourself down this shows through and makes you vulnerable for these creeps who prey on sick or weak women.

I'm not saying that it is my fault, but rather that every guy I've ever dated says it's my fault. I'm not the kind of person who hides what I am. Everyone who knows me knows I'm bipolar. I want people to accept me for who I am and that means accepting that I'm bipolar. I've been lucky enough to find friends to accept me as I am. The difficult part is romantic relationships.

I understand what your saying ,but I still think its unnecessary to tell them you are bipolar.Be who you are ,I am true to myself also but feel no need to tell someone of any condition ,I may have till later if it even comes up.

Being bipolar should NOT be an excuse to break a loving relationship. I'm not bipolar, but I do have other deficiencies which I try to not let get in the way of a relationship. Unfortunatley, my last relationship is so past the toilet it's pretty much in the sewer. She refuses to talk to me, she refuses to even acknowledge my presence, even though I apologized many times (she stopped talking to me because one time I was in a mood and I called her useless. I get kinda insulting when I'm in a mood). I kinda know how you feel. I'm giving up seeking a companion for good. There's no such thing as love. It's just a made-up word for Madison Avenue to help sell their skin cream and two-seater cars.
