Hell, let's hear about some of the shit they do to piss you off and stuff.

I haven't had any experience with a bipolar person, so I don't know what their behavior is like.

My boyfriend was manic/normal. There's manic/normal, depressive/normal and truly bipolar which is swinging between manic/normal/depressive.

When they're manic the best way I would describe it is like someone who's just about hopped up out of their mind on amphetamines (without the hallucinations), including the hyper sex drive and insomnia. They're a danger to themselves and everyone around them, immature, unpredictable, impulsive, paranoid, etc.

They may be interesting to have a weekend fling with, but over the long haul it's a bitch.

I dated a man that was bi-polar. I loved him very much. Next to my marriage with my ex it was one of THE MOST toxic and destructive relationships ever. I can't say that those *in the know* didn't warn me because they did.

I think that those with these types of disorders who WANT to get help and stick to taking their meds, avoiding drugs and alcohol and go to therapy can and probably do have GREAT lives. The man that I had that relationship with did NOT fit that description.

Hey at your previous post (I'm bi-polar and have been told by doctors that the only reason I've made it as far as I have in society is due to intelligence, which I took to mean I have it pretty severe).

And you described it pretty well. It's the destructive impulses that get you - the easiest way to describe it is that you get constantly bored, no matter what you do. So you end up doing dumb things to entertain yourself, with little to not thought as to the future and the ramifications of your actions. It's basically like desperately trying to cure boredom. It takes the right person to live with someone who is bi-polar. My mom is severely bi-polar and my dad has been with her for like 30 years now.

The cool thing about the manic phases is that people seem almost drawn to you. I don't want to see it go a lot of the time since I like the attention to a degree. For me, I keep a ton of friends around, hang out with different people daily, get updated in all of my friends lives often, etc. and I find it keeps me *close* to being entertained. Training helps, creative outlets, etc. I will say that being physically attractive is the best thing you can do for yourself if you really are crazy - and then try to tone the crazy down as you get older (and also don't do anything too stupid in your youth that you can't take back and will follow you around - I barely side-stepped those ones) and you should be fine. I have found if I find a girl really hot, I'm more likely to put up with craziness for longer. Sometimes really cool falls into that category but it's hard for most people to be crazy and still be cool.

interesting!

how long of periods between the phases and how long does each one last?

have you seen some people go months and years before the manic phase? or is it a couple days a month? Does it last weeks? This is all basically the same question. lol

Nathan, it sounds like you aren't on the meds? If not, I would have to ask why. That much energy can be intoxicating but it's such a scattered energy, it creates havoc. You feel wonderful, but the reality is that your life is all over the place. You score with chicks, but being with someone who's manic, over the long haul, is exhausting and destructive. In your own words, you feel like you can tear a car apart with your bare hands but it makes your job next to impossible. I know you already self medicate with weed. Why don't you go on something so you're in more control?

I loved a manic depressive and he nearly killed us both several times going down roads that were marked 25 at 80+. He drove off and left me in the middle of nowhere at 2:00 in the morning, he slammed a door in my face so hard the glass shattered out toward me. On one particularly memorable night he wrecked two cars, punched a hole in the wall of his parents house and tore the front door off the hinges (he got coded that night).

MM your K message was so spot on. I FINALLY ended the relationship with my bipolar bf when he left me for dead. Don't care to get into specifics but lets say he slept well knowing full well that I may not have been alive when he woke. Nice guy.... eh?
