and it lasted for 1 1/2 years.
He had gone off his meds and started acting crazy. Terrible fits of jealousy and anger. After many breakups and makeups, I broke it off for good. I thought it would wake him up and he'd go back on his meds but instead he drank half a bottle of scotch and crashed into a pole the next night. If I only knew then what I knew now about bipolar and getting off medication too fast. It's been 4 1/2 years and I really don't think I'll feel that way again. I've lost a lot of friends. Another promising relationship ended in an unexpected stroke at 40.
This board has opened up all these feelings, gos it's painful and my beautiful cat Boby is sitting here looking up at me and all I can thinka bout is, how am I going to deal when it's HIS time?
Thank you people for sharing yourselves. I especially took to heart someone's advice about creating an internal mother. I need to have someone looking out for me and I think I can find her inside. I hope I can.
I didn't think I'd write, just read. But after balling my eyes out, I had to share as well.
Love,
Sara
