Bi-polar can they be loved

Of course love is meant for everybody! Some has to earn it, some has to fight for it, some are just lucky to be naturally loveable. But for someone who has mental issues, it is indeed a challenge. Based on experience though, my sister is married to a guy with mental depression. It was truly a challenge; in fact, she had thought of legal separation or annulment, but she has decided to stick with it for the sake of the kids. You just have to ensure that your medications are well monitored. I dont know if you are a religious person, but i was told once by a friend who suffered from depression that she was able to break free of it when she had her own spiritual councilor and that she prays often to the Holy Spirit. Good luck my dear.

having a mental problem does not mean they are not worthy of being loved. people are created not to hate and dislike each other but to love and take care one another. It is a matter of accepting things. Just give the people around you time to accept you for who you are.

i can't see why not. I mean hey we all need love. and being Bi-polar is one thing. making sure you take your meds and get professional help is another. it's important to take care of yourself. yes it may be a bit more of a challenge for some people. but love is love and everyone needs to be loved

I would answer "yes" to this, however, it might depend on how severe their bi-polar condition is. Someone with bi-polar disorder needs to be able to keep themselves in check as much as is possible. They probably need to choose a partner that is very understanding and can tolerate mood swings.

Of course, dear.:) You are still worth loving despite of your bipolar. It isn't your fault that you are a victim of such disease (if you have a choice you would not want to have it). The more you need to be understood because of your condition. That rocky marriage must be the result of your mood swings and tempers.Sadly, but it is difficult to adjust with a person with such situation. However, you can make it a little bearable for yourself and your wife as well. There are food that can lower depression and certain moods because of their certain nutrients. I suggest you ask your doctor for such in order to control your moods. Goodluck. Don't worry, you are not the only bi polar victim here and they have survived. you will, too. :)

hello jltrent, My answer there is YES. Having such disorder doesn't mean that you are not capable of loving and being loved. Basically, I guess your must be someone who has stronger emotional control. Mind you, differences among couples come naturally. It's good that you are aware of your situation. It's great help for you to be able to deal with it and make your partner understand you more. If you love each other, have that mental illness must not be a hindrance for you to live a happy life. Good luck!
