Bipolar Support Group

I recently begin dating a wonderful guy several months ago who happens to have bipolar disease. He did let me know early on that he suffers from bipolar disease, but for the most part maintains the condition with his medication. I had no problem with this as he was such a wonderful person to be around. He was a divorcee (nearly 3 years) and he told me he was extremely depressed fom that, but things had had been looking up, especially when he met me. When I met him he was also trying to find work (he had been unemployed for several months). He found a job, but that lasted only about a month. So the entire time I was with him, I knew he was stressed financially. But when we were spending time together he seemed fine. A little over a week ago, he up and left to move 8 hours from me to try and get a job that his friend in that location recommended. He had mentioned a few weeks before that moving could be a possibility, but I didn't realize he would call me 1 day and tell me he's leaving in a few hours. He said he would call me as soon as he got there. I haven't heard from him since and again that was over a week ago. He does not answer his phone when I call & does not reply to my e-mails. He also took me off as a friend on his Facebook account so I will not know what is going on with him. He has completely shut me out of his life in a split second. Weird becasue just days before (and ever since we started dating) he would tell me how I was the best thing that has happened to him in a long time, that he needs me, and wants to start a future with me.

I have heard that people with bipolar disorder tend to runaway and shut family and friends out. I don't understand why and it breaks my heart. Can someone give me a little more insight on why this happens? Do they eventually come back and realize they have hurt the ones they left? Do they not realize it when someone wants to be there for them regardless of this condition? He really is a great guy.

Write it off as a life experience...and move on...and if he was a great guy he would have been nicer how he left. He is not so great, sweetie...

Does anyone else think my situation is bipolar related or agree with Norma?

Don't be upset about that's he 's not the only one to be like that, you will find a nice guy, we have some in this site
