discuss Can you date someone suffering from Bipolar Disorder?

[Ja sa bong]

In my own humble opinion, I think there shouldn't be any reason why people shouldn't be in a relationship simply because they are Bipolar. As long as they are on medication and it can be controlled, they can have a successful relationship.

Would you date someone who's Bipolar?

Would you date someone who's Bipolar?

That's a tough one. I would say, "Sure, no problem."

However, if we just met and that was all that I knew about them, it would raise questions. Is it under control? When was the last exacerbation of the condition? Did it result in a hospitalization? Etc. This would be to know what I'm getting into and see if I would want to eventually, kind of, become their caretaker in helping manage their medications and intake so that there are no surprises, or if there are, very limited, in a long-term committed relationship.

I could as long as there was no violence.

If there was, I'd be the first to admit them into a hospital for care. I understand it sounds mean to give up, but you can't be battered, either.

Good point, as to why I'd want a little history.

I do understand that bipolar can develop later though.

Yeah. That's where it would be tough.

I wouldn't want to come into an already bipolar environment but after being invested, I don't think I could leave if it happens.

It would have to be maintained though. Medicated or therapy.

It's very rough to be with someone with bipolar because violence makes renting difficult, bills can add up due to court fines etc.

I don't have the patience to manage someone that is bi-polar. And that's why someone like me can't date them. Their bi-polar tendencies would always drive me nuts and affect my mental balance. I can't handle dating someone that is bipolar.

I've seen periods of time where bipolar people are reasonable, even without medication, but that time never lasts but a few months.

I know people that manage it well but they have to be on medication and see professionals regularly.

A lot of folks who go untreated commonly resort to using drugs and alcohol to help keep them "down to earth" and that just makes them meaner when something makes them angry.

I could be able to be with someone who has it managed but if they resort to addiction to treat it, I couldn't be a part of that life. I've seen too much of that in my family that has made me hate people like that.

It is not impossible to date someone with bipolar issues although it can be very challenging but with mutual support and communication, the relationship can thrive. It just needs effort from both parties. Bipolar is not a death sentence. It can be treated with proper therapy and lifestyle changes.

This person I know has been in so much trouble with the law that I'm afraid a deportation to El Salvador could happen. (Note: not mocking her condition or her). The Trump administration is very harsh.

 

[Shortie]

I don't see any reason as to why I wouldn't date someone who has bipolar disorder and wouldn't be against doing so if I wanted to be with that person.

Bipolar disorder can be managed and I feel if you truly want to be with someone who has bipolar, you will find a way to help them and make it work so you are both happy.

Some want to manage it and others don't.

Would I be able to understand a person who is suffering from bipolar, would I be able to handle someone who is bipolar? Well, I do not think so. You build a relationship with people who you understand and who understands you. I am not sure if we understand people who have mental health issues. However, I will certainly continue to be in relationship with a person if she develops any mental diseases.
