Would you date someone who has Bipolar? (170)
Probably not.
Analie: I do everyone a disservice when Im not honest about a personal issue with a mangy black mongrel?
I find your remark insulting.

It wasn't meant to insult...but I reiterate my original position...my patience with this disorder is exhausted so I will bow out of this discussion. Good luck to you all.
open minded teachability versus boundaries hmmmmm
tough one
K..first off..not cool to make fun of a mental illness. Second of all..I guess it depends on the degree of bipolar and if he is consistent with medication. Everyone deserves a chance

Lol..love ya too Conjor!!
vinny1967: Yeah I agree with all of what Ken (sorry got your name wrong
twice ) and Ship said. If the person doesnt respect
themself enough to look after themselves they would not be
partner material for me. If it was someone with Heart disease
and they refused to take their meds its the same thing for me.
Having suffered and been invloved in a lot of forums and groups
suffering, once the person acknowledges it and does something to
help themsleves there is absolutely no reason they cannot have a
fulfilling life.
I personally think its about time we took Mental Illness out of
19th Century and drag it into the 21st so people can understand
that its an illness like any other, and in this day and age is
very treatable.
Great Thread and I hope people read so they can come to a better
understanding of the disease.

Unfortunately I did...and it ended very badly. Like many of you here I never realised he had bipolar until a couple of years down the line. We were together for 3.5 years...he had a drink problem and it was a very abusive relationship. When he drunk every night he was lovely and when he was sober he was the opposite. I visited a psychotherapist during that time and he told me from everything I described that my ex had bipolar. It is very sad to see the ones you love go downhill and not admit that they have a problem. If I had to go through it all again knowing what I do now, I probably wouldn't!

Sorry, but try to live with the disorder yourself, walk in the others shoes, then you will understand better.
jasonwells1982: I have bipolar but the problem on here is women do not want to date someone who has bipolar.
Both men and women should reflect that we all live on a by-polar planet; there is also no question of not living with a by-polar Earth...we are all by-products of a by-polar world, so why should dating someone who is by-polar be any problem...

Erm, if it were only that light and airy as you put it here. This disorder, can go from being nice and normal to rage in a flash think, Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde multiplied by a million, or more then you have the idea.
The length of these rages can be from a few seconds to weeks at a time. The violence that goes on during this time is oft indescribeable.
I thank G-d, I do not have this problem. I feel for my Foster Brother. He has an Autistic Son. With His Son, He is the tenderest of Parents, a joy to be around.
This I Will say for him, His Son is the one and only area of His life, that he really tries extremely hard to not let his disorder get in the way. The rest of the time, it is walking on eggshels around Him.
Why I don't go around much. I do not like my personal space invaded and the yelling that can be heard 10 miles away turns my Stomach. The stress of dealing with him when he is in that mode, even causes me to be unable to sleep for days after his latest explosion.

Hopefully you read my initial posting as it outlines my personal experience with this disorder. I am NOT bipolar but have been exposed to what I would assume is one of the worst types and have put forth to all what it is like to live with it. I have unlimited sympathy for those who have this disorder and applaud those who manage it but I have no more patience for it in my personal space. I hope you understand that I don't need to walk a mile in anyone's shoes for I have seen it at it's worst and understand it in all of it's ramifications. good night
