Bipolar Disorder and Relationships
The guy that I am currently seeing has bipolar II disorder. He's been quite distant for the past two or three weeks, and it's putting a strain on the relationship, at least on my side. The inconsistent communication makes me feel sad, lonely, and isolated. I know that there's a good chance he's going through a depressive episode, but I can only assume because I haven't heard from him or seen him in a while. I want to be supportive, but I also need to take care of my own mental health too. Any advice on how to cope during times like this as a partner of someone with bipolar disorder?

I can totally feel ur anxiety right now. It must be hard to care about two people's emotions at the same time right. Here is my suggestion, maybe suggest him to use 7cups and let professional listeners to take care of him, and at the same time, take some rest. Both of u guys need to stay healthy~
