anyone esle?

Answer 1

Yes. And it also makes it hard for the ones who do date you to keep dating you.

Answer 2

I know what you are going through, I take meds for schizophrenia, severe depression, and anxiety disorder with panic attacks.
I bet there are a lot of guys that would date you, just be yourself and try to keep on your meds. When you meet someone special, be honest with them about what's going on with you.
Hang i there and I wish you the very best.

Answer 3

Hi there, my grandma is bipolar and her and my grandpa were married for 35 years before he passed. She was hopitalized on average every 4 years in her manic phases. He stood by her side the whole time. Now that he's passed, when she gets really sick we take turns taking care of her. My uncle (who also passed away) was married once and had 2 children, and had 1 other 8 years relationship. It may make it harder but the right person will come along. Someone who understands the illness or someone who isn't scared and is willing to learn about it. Good luck to you!

Answer 4

well just give up on guys then, or look for other bi polar hot males. LOL im sure youll find one. No seriously, no offense or anything, why don't you try at a club or at a gym? Why is it hard for bi polar ppl to find dates anyways? just as long as u don't drool most guys will go after any girl who can u know... BOW CHICA BOW WOW

Answer 5

It will limit your dating options yes,, but some horny bugger will always be will to date you. NOT what you want, I know, but it is the truth.

Unfortunatly, it is going to limit only the good guys... they guys that feel they somehow do not derserve the stress that comes from being in that kind of relationship.

Answer 6

Well, you can start by changing how to refer to yourself. Rather than the old, "I'm Bipolar", switch to "I have Bipolar Disorder". The illness doesn't define you as a person. It's the same as "I am cancer", vs. "I have cancer".
As far as your meds go, if you feel they've "stopped working", DO NOT stop taking them. Rather, go see your psychiatrist immediately for an adjustment.
Bipolar illness must be managed in order to keep it from taking over your life. We can lead a pretty normal life if we take active steps to control it. Medication, regular psychotherapy, and a support group keep me healthy and I have far fewer episodes of cycling.
As far as dating goes (or work, or school), don't reveal your illness until you've been seeing the person for a while and he gets to know you a bit. My rule of thumb is to wait about 3 months into it. By that point, it should come as a surprise to him, and the response you're likely to get is, "Oh, really? I would never have guessed-- You're so normal".

Answer 7

If you're over 21, I'll date you.

Answer 8

Well as long as you take medication you should be fine. Just look out for guys that take advantage of you.

Goodluck

Answer 9

Some guys like aggressive attitude. I knew a few bipolar people, guys and girls, who are dating people and those people seem to be really understanding. You'll find someone.

Answer 10

Well, if you're on meds and your behaviour is under control, then it shouldn't cause problems. Just don't open with, "Hi, nice to meet you. I'm bipolar." I'd save it for at least the 3rd date. :-)
