I've been in a relationship since June 10th, and I just ended it this friday. My mood is relatively good, given the circumstances, I just keep worrying whether I made a mistake. But he seemed very controlling, and it scared me. How on earth do I/we deal with relationships being bipolar? I mean, its so hard for me to trust my own judgement, or to know whether my decisions are what God wants for me.

I mean, I'm crazy enough - how do I judge someone else as being "too much for me to handle" - which I basically did. In some ways, I don't feel like I have the right, given my own weaknesses. And I'm scared there will be nobody for me in the future. But I don't see how I could have gone out with him any longer.

OMG!! This is exactly my problem....I don't feel like I can trust my judgment, and it's now been 10 years since I've been in a relationship. I have dated a couple of times since my first manic episode and severe lapse in judgment, but I always cut it off at the first sign of serious.

What signs made you think he was too controlling? Maybe if you talk about it with other people, they can help you see whether you're being paranoid, or whether he is a controlling freak.

The decisions you make are most likely pretty sane. Being Bipolar does not kill our ability to think, it does affect our ability to make decisions sometimes. If you flet your last relationship was to controlling the I am willing to bet you are right on.

I'm editing this message because it contained details of our relationship that I think better kept quiet.

I'm shed of a poisonous woman,just in time too,she was mean and vindictive,why were we together?

Some times our madness complemented each other,

then it was good,too good maybe.

I wondered at times if she might kill me in my sleep.

tough lesson.
