People who have bipolar 1 disorder usually have psychosis.

Thank you for asking. It was a situation ...Hello, <br /><br />Thank you for asking. It was a situation where this person whom I love and care about greatly was acting sexually towards others when we were out in public. He told me he was using drugs and sleeping with strangers. He was not seeing his children. It reminded me of MY past when I had similar behavior around mania and I felt myself getting ill. He was unable to have a conversation that wasn’t about himself and he was making decisions I truly found destructive. But, he is his own person and I truly don’t change others. So I explained what I needed and he made it very clear that he liked being manic and was going to continue to be manic. So we ended our relationship without acrimony. If he every needed me, I would be here. I am a person who gets manic in minutes. I can’t be around the behavior or it will affect me. This doesn’t mean that I am here to change anyone. It means that I am taking care of my own bipolar disorder. <br /><br />Julie Julie Fasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09792776448164580323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-998250393580256984.post-40956816843830333672019-04-02T10:48:45.945+01:002019-04-02T10:48:45.945+01:00What did he do?
