I found out why my GF is so emotionally stable...

[Desdinova]

She told me she was diagnosed Bi-polar, but she faithfully takes her pills every single day. Every fvcking woman should be on that 5hit.

How far a long into the relationship are you?

A girl that shares this gem with me pretty early on I see as a gigantic red flag. And as we all know, they may appear "stable" at the beginning of things, then suddenly flip the psycho switch.

Just looking out for you brother.

But yes, I agree. Doctors need to come out with an almighty pill that makes woman less crazy. I would even help fund that sh!t.

8 months. I was shocked when she told me she was bi-polar. I never would have suspected it. She told me a couple of weeks ago when I asked her what all her pills were for.

 

[Sue Madre]

Typical American girl. Have fun with that.

 

[SecondHalf]

Ran from one of those, takes some SSRI and Lithium.
Wasn't ready to date nutty after just surviving a 14 year marriage with a cluster B.

Turned her into a FB.
Now I service her between her two month victims.
It works.

I lived with an un-medicated bi-polar. It was hell. Again, with her being properly diagnosed and on the right prescription, you can't even tell.

Caveat: Over time a lot of these bipolar medications adversely affect the metabolism and these girls will suddenly pack on some serious weight. But if you are cool with having a drug-dependent borderline-psycho fatass as your dime piece then who am I to argue?

FWIW I've dated plenty of women who did not need any medication to be a decent human being.

Be careful my friend. You know the drill. This is serious stuff.

You would not have posted this if it did not concern you. But, you should be concerned. Let us know if you need to talk.

Dear Des,
Oh Mate!,take care....In a long previous post,I mentioned in passing that when I take a Lady out for a while I take a look at what she has medication-wise in her Bathroom vanity unit,took a bit of flack from the Girls' blouse brigade....six years ago Red warning Bells started ringing with a Lady I had carted out for about a month,took a Little Bo-Peep in her Bathroom,couldn't make out what she was taking but wrote the names down....Yup a BPD,and didn't she run true to form....forewarned is forearmed.

I'm confused. In another thread you wrote this yesterday:

Being with the wrong woman TWICE is enough for me.

And now you are saying you are with a bipolar woman WHILE you are getting divorced for the second time to another woman? Some of you guys just love the drama don't you? I don't get it.

Bipolar I and II are amazingly common diagnoses. The lifelong prevalence of bipolar disorder in the United States is around 1% to 1.6%. BPI occurs equally in both sexes; however, rapid-cycling bipolar disorder (4 or more episodes a year) is more common in women than in men. The incidence of BPII is higher in females than in males.

Epidemiology aside, I'm not convinced all the diagnoses are made on a sound clinical basis. Basically I think behavioral b!tches are sometimes written off as having Bipolar disorders, where in reality they just need an attitude adjustment. Just my opinion though. My catalytic oneitis in college was Bipolar. She was unpredictable to say the least, but there were other factors at play there.

Anyways, this isnt new territory for you, Des. Maybe probe a little deeper and find out if she is the depressive-predominant type or the manic-predominant type....might give you some insight as to what you can expect if she ever gets off meds; for pregnancy, insurance, or some other reason. :nervous:

Man...there are no clean deals.

I think when you guys became serious she should have shared that with you. I think 8 months is long enough...but varies from relationship to relationship. Too soon I do think is inappropriate.

Here at the forum the BPD is like the antithesis of the don juan..next to the "nice guy". Maybe I should say the arch nemisis. In the sense that the Don Juan is 100% game..and the BPD by nature in the long run is un-gameable.

Not sure what you going to do. Especially with the investment (time/emotion) you have made. But you have experience with this. Plus you see all the posts surrounding BPD women.

Touchy situation.

I'm no expert on bipolar disorder, but a family member of mine was involved in a long-term relationship, and his bi-polar GF, for whatever reason, would stop taking her meds, and her depression would quicken to the point that she wouldn't get out of bed.

I have a friend who had that happen to him. He had no clue she was bipolar until right after they got married. She stopped taking her meds, went batshît, and threatened him at gunpoint.

Desdinova, you're playing with fire.

 

[Sue Madre]

Next thing you may find out is that she has Herpes and never told you about that either.

He is obviously talking about his former wife being his perfect match that didn't work out, and then his current girlfriend who he thought was the right one and is turning out to be another whackjob.

Duh , you need to keep up with the Days of Our Sosuave program.

BPD is not Bipolar. They are 2 very different things. One is a mental illness (BPD or Borderline Personality Disorder) and the other is a mood disorder (Bipolar). I wanted to clarify as it seemed some people were using them interchangeable. Also, Bipolar you can medicate, BPD you can not. The later sometimes will take prescriptions, but they are hardly effective and there is no BPD pill.

 

[Knight's Cross]

Des!
What are you doing? Sure there's no clean deals, but this falls outside the realm. Get out while you aren't too entangled. That's my 2 cents. Every woman that I dated that was...on meds, or should have been on meds....I count my blessings that I didn't either wind up getting an STD, a unwanted pregnency, or worse. I'm sure it isn't easy. You've been dating her for awhile, you feel a connection...etc. Be honest tho....You KNOW that she has MAJOR issues now. This kind of issue won't go away, it won't get better, and it's ALWAYS in the closet ready to come out.....
Sorry to hear about this, but when a woman is honest she's TELLING you in hopes you'll white knight.
Don't do it.

An ex of mine has OCD so badly that she said she couldn't leave the house, had to stay home to organize everything and cry that it wasn't perfect. That was before Paxil. Now she is a state's attorney, and doing very well. It's a night and day difference with the Paxil.

Of course it is impossible to make a thread on sosuave about a girl without everyone telling you to dump her, but the one thing you might check is if she can have kids while on her meds, if that is something you want. My ex can't ever have children while on Paxil, and she can't cope without it, so I don't see her ever having kids.

All that matters is that you are happy. Good luck with everything.
