 Tonight I called my guy who is in Dinial of Bipolar 5 time. The fifth time he answered and yelled stop calling and hung up!

I tried calling one of his friends that I know knows but he didn't call me back either. I left him a message that I know what my guys problem is and I have been researching it online for the past 2 weeks.

Is it time to stop?

I am trying to help but what do I do?

 Don't overwork yourself for someone who isn't going to appreciate your efforts. If he is in denial then that's where he shall stay until he is ready to stop and begin learning. Make yourself available, if you wish to stay in his life, but not to the extent that you are presently doing.
BE BLESSED!

 May I suggest something?

How about finding someone who is neutral (not a friend or co worker for either of you) to listen to what has been going on? Their perspective would be clear of bias and hopefully get you on the right track for caring for yourself.

Good luck and let me know how it goes oK?

Hugs to you,

 The harder you push the faster they will run, until they are ready to get the help they need you will be pushing a brick wall.

 I tried pushing and all it did was make things worse. I have stopped pushing (calling and texting) and now she is calling and texting me. So maybe what you need to do is just back off a bit and see what happens.

Beleive me I know how hard it is to back off. But sometimes that is what you have to do. This is what I have done and I am not saying it will work for you heck I don't know if it is working for me really. I do know that the more pushing I did the farther away she seemed.

Just my thoughts. I'm lost myself right now and don't honestly know what to do so I'm problely not the best person to be giving advise. But anyway thats what I am doing right now.

 Wow.. this sounds exactly like what I go through.. I am so exhausted with the disrespect and quite honestly I don't know what to do either.. I agree with distancing yourself and wait for him to come to you.. This has worked for me as well.. Sometimes I feel that I have to be very careful of every action I make in fear of his anger spats.. When this happens I usually leave and let him come back to reality.. Sometimes this can last 2 hours to 2 or 3 days.. Let's keep in touch!!

 I well! I think he will never call me but he has to do business with me and my best friend works for the same company as he! I feel being Bipolar doesn't give you the grand pass of making someone who loves you feel like dirt and they can just get away with it. I also think they need space but not at everyone else's expence. I didn't make him Bipolar and he didn't tell me he was. I care alot but I do love me too! Will advise!
