i have a wonderful husband and we both are bipolar.something to remeber we both try to help each other.if you go into it and both
of you arent ready to really be with someone then it wont work out
but that is true even if you started a relationship with anyone.a
good side is you both know how the other feels.

The negatives your dealing with 2 unstable people.
The plus side you both can relate with each other problems.
I would say no it's not a good thing to start a long lasting relationship with the person. A relationship is hard enough sometimes without having to face those types of issues. But who I'm I to say...
I just seen a few relationships that friends or their family members had with Bipolar people. None of them turned out pretty.
My best wish for you is that you can find somebody understanding & can put up with the mood swings.

Be careful in the relationship as in a non recovered state the bipolar person if full of errors. Nonetheless being in a relationship with a player who is solid emotionally and able to destroy you any time has definite risks. Be safe with your own kind.

It could work either way for you both. This relationship would potentially double the trouble in comparison to others because you will BOTH become i'll in the cycle of things.
However, because your spouse will already have an indepth knowledge of the illness he may be able to help you when you become ill & visa versa.
You need to have a strategy in place for each other when either of you become ill. You both need to understand what this strategy is so you can entrust in each other when it comes to careing for each other during that period
One strategy could include being assessed by an outsider so they could have an objective view to the care needed. i.e. you may both become unwell at the same time therefore both may need careing for

Yes it would work good, I am bipolar and my wife who is not bipolar calls me a loser and wants me to die.

Well you will have an understanding of each other going into it that someone without that condition could not hope to attain so I would put that on your plus side. What do you stand to loose if it doesn't work? Nothing ventured nothing gained.

sure..so long as you both understand that u both are bipolar and when you notice crazyness with each other it is not intentional.
or it will drive both of you crazy...and your and their mood swings could get unbearable to deal with...

You should focus less on "bipolar" and more on "person."

It depends.
It you met in therapy or a group, usually no.
Otherwise, who knows, so try it.
