upset with others...do you think he may not be taking his medications? He appears to be in a manic stage as well....getting involved with too many things....happy....sad.......NOTsleeping well....if he sleeps at all. What are your feelings on this? Would appreciate some input. Thanks.

Even someone who takes their meds will still have highs and lows!! If they are extreme/severe, he should go back to his Doctor and see if his meds need to be adjusted. Even if the meds were working at one time, they do need adjusting sometimes. Also does he go to his Doctor regularly for kind of like check ins? Showing your support and friendship will go along way.
My husband is bipolar and he is sweet, kind, generous, and does his best to take care of me. I’m happy to be married to him! Sure he has his ups and downs but with the right meds and my support and love, he manages. We manage. Don’t shut people out because they have disorders.

I also suffer from bi polar. I took meds to keep me and my ups and downs level. It is a chemical; imbalance in the brain. The right combination of meds can make up for the imbalance he has. Do you know if he is taking meds, seeing a doctor and theripist. Ask him if he needs someone to talk to about his bi polar. I am a peer specialist and advacate.

Don't ever date him or marry him.
But sounds like not taking meds or needs to be evaluated for dosage or change.
Actions you describe though are bipolar behaviors.
I have had experience with someone bipolar-she was married to my brother. The hardest person to love i have ever known, she was exhausting and i wasn't even in the same house as her, she kicked my brother out of the house about every 3-4 mos through their 5 yr marriage. Tried to kill him once, played mind games with her twins, let them run around naked, took them trickortreating barefoot,and a neighbor finally called the police on her after that!! Ended up loosing both of the the kids, threatened to kill my brothers new wife when she found out she was pg. She is an evil person. AND she was taking her meds was in and out of mental hospital 4 times in the 7 yrs i was around her. I am thankful she is no longer apart of my nor my families lives.
I do have to admit maybe she was just way severe but that is why I said don't marry him, especially since she describes him in a rather unstable manner.

He may very well not be taking his meds or have not been on them long enough for them to take full effect. A dosage adjustment may be what he needs or a different med all together.

It sounds like either he is not taking his meds or the ones he is on are not working. Sometimes it takes a couple tries before you find the one that works for you.

Simplesimon, all I can say for you, is just what I said on another post, at another website,"don't crack under pressure, just hang on until the storm is over"! Eternals has a good answer, you can't condemn a person because he has faults, help him help himself ! We all have our "demons", we just have to work through them!

There is nothing you can do to help this man. he has to work through this himself. Have him go see a Dr.
