Will men be put off by my bipolar?!


Question:

Will men be put off by my bipolar?

I'm considered pretty and attractive, I'm smart with a good sense of humour and I am good natured/honest. I'm just about holding down a university degree. The problem? Bipolar. I rapid cycle; about 3 times a year I get in an often severe depression that lasts for a few weeks a time. My highs are nipped in the bud with olanzapine. I'm not violent and I don't take drugs, I'm compliant with my meds and I don't take my problems out on other people. I just get very down every now and then where I take to my bed (I've never attempted suicide) and if I feel myself getting high I take my meds. I can just get very hype - the usual bipolar stuff.I also have very bad dyspraxia and mild Aspergers with a very dysfunctional family. I don't know if any man will ever take me on because of this. I have friends etc but I'm to afraid to start dating because I don't feel any man would be prepared to take me on. There is just so much stigma and they will think I have too much baggage. I don't know what to


Answers:

You're not doomed to the single life just because you're bipolar. Any guy worth being with will love you despite your illness. As long as you're getting the proper treatment and he knows what to expect and what to watch for, it's not a problem. Don't go around advertising your illness, but when the time comes, let the guy know and if he really cares about you, it won't change anything.
