I've noticed a pattern that whenever I'm having an 'episode' be it mania, depression, or irritability, my boyfriend picks fights with me. this is when he should be there for me and supporting me, not making it worse! I feel like he is trying to send me over the edge. Is this considered emotional abuse?

I would tell you that he is not supportive at all but you already know this....if you suffer from this bipolar first hand if he truly loves you he should Inform himself about this condition...secondly you are more than welcome to look for help and to realize that this is not your fault and that there is help and there is also people out there that are mature enough to understand and not label you just because you are having an episode does not mean you are in a bitchy mood..and yes I would say is emotional abuse....but is all in your hands you have enough to deal right now...not need him giving you more depression....Boyfriend this is for you...You are very inmature and she is a wonderful Girl....your loss buddy!....
Good luck princess!

Doctors seem to be all practicing--life is a guess, drugs they push for everything, do they look further? Maybe there is a connection to your arthritis? Body fights as best it can. Other issues might be there and they stop looking at the first sign of finding something. There has been some weird research on this by people with Bi-Polar in a good sense. Some found out through tests, they had sleep apnea, serious enough, they actually stopped breathing for a few seconds after or during REM. Once they had the proper equipment, they were able to be like they were and the real cause was a sleep disorder. Another one is also experimental. Getting off of all corn oil products, including corn starch cosmetics, etc. No popcorn, no corn flakes, no corn bread or even corn syrup. It is a hard diet, but 2 out of 10 made a change for the good, now they feel good and no mood swings. One out of the 10 also did away with mixing dairy products with chicken, beef, lamb and other meats and eliminated all nitrate products and add 42% Gallium nitrate, I think they mixed 100 cc in a liter of water and divided the water mixture into 2 days and drank daily. This person has done remarkably well. I don't know if any of the above can be your problem, we never know what chemicals we need or what we have in us that is a problem. The nitrate got rid of excessive calcium in her body & other chemical imbalances that were throwing her body into turmoil. Also, not having the right balance of magnesium and vit. D3 & calcium can make a difference, also check your levels of potassium too, low blood sugar can also mimic mood changes. So much they don't check when they find one problem, and don't keep checking.

There are two possibilities
1 - you have anunsupportive and undeserving boyfriend
2 - you are overly sensitive when you are in your episodes and that is why you remember them as being so bad with him
You have to decide if he is a "dangerous" person to you (ie does he cause your problem to be worse, if so, find a better boyfriend)

some people get off on the power trip of making you go over the edge when you are at your weakest. he probably hates the fact you have this weakness and takes it out on you. doesn't matter if it is emotional abuse or not. If you don't want to be treated that way, move on. He won't change.

My guess would be that he feels it's the only time he can vent on you. If you're going to be mad at him anyway, it would be better to get all his gripes out of the way then, than to trigger an episode when you're feeling fine and he feels like he has to get out some frustration, right?

Maybe your behavior is having an effect on him. Maybe he's feeding negatively on your vibes and reacting like that instead of thinking about your situation and trying to help.

Are you sure he is "picking a fight" and you are not just reacting to his attempts to "be there" with typical bipolar instability

Jennyann 4 is right. He get nervous and doesn't know what to do.
