I am bipolar 1 and have been admitted to hospital 3 times for manic episodes. All 3 episodes were triggered by other people’s pain. When someone I love is depressed or hurting, I literally feel it in my bones. I do everything I can to try and sooth them, become too involved… try and do what I can to change it… until it knocks me up a notch and I go high. Too much codependency and lack of boundaries on my part.

Bipolar Disorder and Extreme Empathy

Zozo

Hi, I suffer from Bipolar type 2 and I hate to say this, but it seems that although she may have BPD, how she acts and treats you is more of a narcissistic problem and not a Bipolar one. I push people away at times as I feel a burden to everyone that I love. But being BIpolar is not an excuse to cheat on you and make you feel unloved or hurt. Please try to move on, you do not need that negativity in your life. You deserve to be treated with respect. Yes, having Bipolar does cause mood swings, mania and depression. We struggle, but personally I do not disrespect people. I am totally self aware. Hope you find the happiness that you deserve.
