Hi, I'm new here. Like so many others, I "had" a SO with BP. I still love him but I am not in love with him anymore for all the reasons that BP push their SO's away. Anyway, he is not on medication and about every six months he goes into a depressed state. Most of the posts I've read many have, understandably, left their SO's ... my question is where they on medication ?? ... does medication really control the BP or can you always expect it to be lying in wait ?? This guy has no one to support him, no family and mostly all of his friends have deserted him. BP is a terrible mental conditon that they have no control over and I believe (correct me if I am wrong) that as awful as BP can be, these people need support, someone to lean on. Right now, I've been "shut out again". I've no doubt, he'll be back. I've tried numerous times for him to see a professional and get on medication. An attempt was made with a GP with no luck. When he comes back do I just turn my back on him and let him hit bottom ?? Is that what it might take for him to seek the proper help ?? When he is "normal" you couldn't find a more wonderful, caring person and that is why I'd like to try and help him lead some sort of normal life and relieve him of this He** hole that he lives with. Perhaps I am just wasting my time if meds really don't control the BP all that well. Thanks for listening to my vent and if anyone has some input, I'd sure love to hear it. Kaylee
