bipolar

08/06/2009

Rich has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder.

This is a good thing. Now, at last, maybe he'll get the help he needs. He is NOT the man I know right now, and as frustrated and upset I get... I know that he must be suffering so much.

It makes perfect sense - I don't really know how I didn't click earlier, but I think sometimes you can be so personally involved that you can miss the signs that are right in your face - he goes from deep depression and not being able to get out of bed to fucking everyone in the world and driving his car into walls... it's pretty classic, now I think about it.

His mum told me, she said they're NOT sectioning him - they reckon it might do more harm than good, better to try and give him a stable home environment.

He came on the phone, and I asked him how he felt - "scared" was his answer, sounding like a lost little boy.

"I know - but this is a good thing - you're not in it alone anymore."

"I never was. Thanks for... not giving up."

I'll never give up.

I'm so happy that he finally has a diagnosis, as knowing what the problem is will let him finally receive appropriate treatment. I'm glad that he recognizes you've been there all along. I'm so glad for you both. I hope that he'll cooperate from here on out.

I am glad that they finally diagnosed him. It does sound like the classic case of bipolar. When you really love someone, you don't just give up on them. I'm proud of you for being there for him.
