As a bipolar who takes meds, I say, if they don't take meds or consider
seeing a doctor, you're looking for a world of hurt being in the
relationship. Yes, both cases sound bipolar-esque. But without getting a
diagnosis formally & then having your partners receive and TAKE their
medications to show a difference, it's a moot point.

I'm glad I take my meds! 5 years on them now. Life's still hard, but
honestly!!!! I can't imagine still being on the rollercoaster & putting my
family & friends through what they went through anymore.

Best of Luck to All,

Krin in Hampshire
