my boy-friend is bipolar and on meds. He is having what I consider to be a "break-though" depressive episode. I have asked him to see his Dr. He is stalling, he says he can't untill certain records are transferred, etc, etc. I have a hard time believing it could take that long to get an appointment regardless of circumstance. The other night he said soemthing that scared the crap out of me. That he wasn't worried about ever leaving me, but rather about not being "here". As in alive. I don't know if he is having suicidal thoughts, I am afraid he wouldn't tell me if he was.
He is on Depakote and two other meds. He has attempted sucide on one other occasion following a rather horrid break-up. I am not going anywhere regardless of what happens and he knows that...but I don't want to puch him either. Please, any insight or advice would be very helpfull. I just don't know what to do or how to do it anymore. He is a father, they need him so much...and so do I. I just want to see him healthy.
