thanks guys! sry im adding this after the fact i hope you check back im new to this whole thing...my boyfriend isn't on meds they just him on wellbutrin...but right on the bottle it says not to take if bipolar but it may cause suicidal thoughts so he is scard to take it but as been for i think 4 days now...he is also on lithum (sp) and he doesn't take that cause he feels so sick all the time he has no feelings at all i understand that and don't bug him about he does see a dr but its very hard to get him in to see her appts must be very far in advance

im only postin this because he really scared me last night sayin "you will miss me when im gone" and talkin about how he was going to jump off a bridge on his way to work...now he won't answer my text messages this is the first time in over 8 months he has talked like that most of the time he just says hes sad and wants to be left alone or wants to cuddle and be held...he just kept tellin me how i would be ok and i just cryed

Well I am Bipolar,and I was diagnosed back in 2000,and and when I look back I may have had it all the way back to my childhood but back than health professionals did not have a name for it as of yet.
But like your boyfriend I have mood swings that would scare the hell out of people from severe to docile and you never knew heck I never knew which person would come out of me or what would trigger me to go off and like I said when I look back on this I was this way as a child and I am talking back in the 1960's ok!
Have you gotten any literature on line or from a health professional understanding the different moods of Bipolar disorder that would help you a whole lot in understanding your boyfriend for one thing.
Has he sought professional help for this there are good medications that will help him control his moods and live a more serene daily life and help you as well because you need to take time yourself and learn about it as well because he could have from mild to severe to maniac bipolar,and I know this from my own experience I am not making this up because this is something you don't play with and can be dangerous if you do not know the warning signs as well because Bipolar people can turn on a dime without warning ok.
I'm doing fine and I live with it quite well now and I know the signs and can tell the warning signs coming on myself and I let friends and family know to leave me alone if I am getting truly irritated or aggravated by something or someone or a situation or the littlest thing can bring it on in a person such as us you would be surprised.
So please start off my going on line and getting literature that you can print out okay (WEB-MD) for example there is plenty of information. for you to read so that is no excuse ok,and if your man has not sought professional help for it in your own way because you know him better than I try to get him to seek help, ease into that conversation very easily ok don't go into that head strong that is not the best way t do that.
You can also contact the National Mental Health Institute (NMHI) in Washington,D.C.or state capitol or town or county and ask for information on it also.
I hope things go well I hope to hear how your doing with this and may God,keep you both and strong and supportive of each other that is very important.GOOD LUCK!!
