Hi Everyone. Sorry this is long but this is not even the half of it...

Well I read some of the posts on here and OMG i almost was in tears. I thought it was just me and that my boyfriend had really weird issues. But I guess that bi polar ppl act this way.

Here is my story please read it and help me i feel so alone.

I met my boyfriend 2 and a half yrs ago when I was 19 and he was 32.I am now 21 and he is turning 34.HE was so charming for the first 3 wks then after that this other person emergerd.

We moved in together after about 2 months. and that is when it all came out basically long story short. Out of no where he will explode want to be alone say mean horribe bizarre things that are not even true to hurt me....

he will say he is unsure about us and is is sooo depressed wants to be alone wnats me to go upstairs and even looks like a different person. and will just be miserable and not even want to see me.....

then withen 4 hrs he will be singing songs out loud being soooo talkative to me and be sooo nice to me and act like nothing happened.

THen when he is the "bizarrely happy" person he will tickle and play really hard and rough with the cat and with me. HE will bite the cat really hard and the cat will cry and then he will get really angry at the cat if the cat bites back.

He does the same to me. ANd if I say your hurting me he will not care and look at me like im crazy and wont stop. He also has an EXPLOSIVE violent temper he cannot handle mistakes or anything that goes wrong.

like if the host at a reataurant puts ceaser dressing in the bag instead of ranch OMG that will set him off into a rage and "the other" person will emerge. I dont know what to do.

He does nothing around the house. He does not sleep alot but instead he sits in front of the tv and plays violent video games for hours i mean literally he will sit there for over 6 hours and scream at the tv and scream at me if I happen to come downstairs. he has even thrown the control at the televiosn and broke our tv

HE has also said weird things like that he is the devil. OR that "THEY" are going to get me.

When he is drunk he gets really scary. Which is not that often thank god.

HE has mentioned things like if you ever see me coming at you with a knife just tell me to STOP SAy what are you doing STOP. HE only said tha once and then if I bring it up later he will say I dont remember that. Or he will deny it and say Im a liar. or that he was "sleeping".

he told me that when he was a teenager he tried to kill himself. and that his grandfather killed himself.

I know that he would NEVER hurt me. But he has a very bad temper and breaks things and is very un predictable. He does not like change or suprises or mistakes.

Its like he has multiple personalities

**loving sweet and gentle man that is supportive and understanding,talks about our future kids marrige

*** angry,very MEAN man that is violent depressed wants to blow his head off. wants to be completely alone. IS unsure about me and life.

****excessively hyper biting cant be still pacing wanting to be constantly moving and wanting me to move around at his speed

I live with these people EVERYDAY and the appear daily.

But every week to 10 days we have a HUGE BLOWOUT where he will just become this distant mean person. I dont know what to do.When he has a blowout He blames all of this on me. ANd says that he should be happy with his life he is sucessful at work has money so its me that makes him this way.

He recently said that he would see someone if got all the info for him. Which I did do and he did not make an appt.and after a blowout "he said I told u 2 help me and get me info for a psycoligist. ANd you dont want to help me".

I think he is Bi polar...has multiple personalities,has serious anger issues. he is verbally abusive and deameans me and be littles me. ANd is violent.

CAN anyone relate????

GOD BLESS AMERICA CHILD!!!!!!!! GET THE HELL OUT OF THERE.................. NOWWWWWWWWWW.......... What are you waiting for......him to kill you????? Use your common sense. Do you have a death wish????????? Run and never look back!! He is an out of control wild animal....and without a lot of help he is just going to get worse. YOU cannot heal him. You can't even help him if he doesn't want help.. It is time for you to start living a happy peaceful life. You deserve that!! You count...did you forget that??? Give some love to you now....

Gloria.

NOOOOOOOOOO..... HE has to recognize that he needs help. HE has to seek it. HE has to heal himself. He sounds as though he is far from being JUST bipolar, Lynn. He is mean and violent. The violence will absolutely get worse before it gets better. Leave PLEASE. Keep the relationship if you must. But, make it understood that you will not be his whipping boy and you will not be back living with him until he gets help. REAL MENTAL HEALTH TREATMENT... I see horrible things happening here lynn, please don't just stay there and accept it....

Gloria.

Lynn, please take steps to protect yourself. Do not allow yourself to be in a position where your health, safety and walefare can be compromised.

He needs help, that is true. He needs the help of trained medical professionals. You can be a great support group but YOU CANNOT CURE HIM yourself. It is up to him to take responsibility for his healthcare. You can help by making appointments, reminding him when they are... But you cannot force him to do anything.

Have you sought any counciling for yourself? This is a regular part of your own healthcare. You must stay both physically and mentally healthy yourself if you wish to be of any help to him. A good therapist can help you learn coping methods along with evaluating the health of the relationship.

Love is the most wonderful thing on earth. But abuse has no place in love!

We are here to talk anytime you want to.

You are not alone, we are here.

Lynn, listen to Gloria, she has given you sound advice, the only thing you can change on another person is their diapers.. and he isn't 1 or 100 so that isn't going to happen anytime soon.. right now it is breaking the tv, next it is going to be beating you up, get out before it happens, he needs help, he needs to make the call to get help, they won't let you do it for them.. only way he can be taken against his will is by police escort, and that won't happen till he has a episode outside the house or has beaten you and you call the police on him.. I personally would not wait for that to happen.

Thanks guys I feel really good knowing that I can talk to ppl that understand the situation. Sometimes I just go into the bathroom and scream at the top of my lungs or sit in my car and scream, and cry its horrible to feel so helpless. I am a christian person so i try to just show him Gods love and be patient and understanding towards him. I sometimes well actually all the time blame myself if i could have only had the house cleaned in time or a meal ready in time or whatever the case may be.

Right now he will be home in about 30 mins and I am praying to God that he will be in a normal mood. And not come home angry or annoyed. does anyone or has anyone had a husband or mate like this???

Lynn, what you have just described sounds like codependancy. It is easy for us as the loved ones of somone with bipolar to fall into codependant behaviors.

Your fear of how he is going to come home is not healthy. In a positive relationship you should be looking forward to him coming home. There is nothing you can do to bring about another persons happiness. Heck, I can't even make my own self happy most of the time how can I ever make anyone else happy any of the time with what I say or do.

Hi lynn1 i know its hard to love someone like this i do to and im new to this site but it felt like someone was prankin and mockin my story..click on my name and read for yourself .wow.but hey i understand how it feels to feel helpless and out of control of someone you want to marry and just love..its a lifetime commitment to love someone like this but you also have to protect yourself.the best was the tv thing mine is good for that too dont you love how normal they are to everyone but you ...kinda starts to make you think something is wrong with you huh..well your fine trust me a lil co dependant but fine. something our counselor said is that i enable him to act out and i was i let him do whatever he wanted to me and i took it.my heart is with you for real on this if you wanna talk more after you read my stuff that would be cool .your not alone hun..be blessed
