Bipolar Disorder and Relationships: When I have to ask myself, should I stay or should I go……..

crazy men blog


My answer is completely dependent on how the other person is affecting my bipolar disorder!


I’m at a cafe answering my coaching inquiries and heard these song lyrics:


Loving you was never good for me.


I’ve lived in that world with a few men and I’m very happy to say that I stopped the behavior 100%.  I learned that having someone in my life who makes my bipolar disorder worse isn’t an option.


 


 


I have a zero tolerance policy for ANYONE who willingly makes my bipolar disorder worse. It’s not about them-  I don’t control the behavior of others, but I sure as heck can decide to stay or go.


I made the decision to GO! GO! GO! when my bipolar disorder is triggered.


This was years ago and I’m happy and stable now. So much of my bipolar disorder was about my behavior around romantic relationships. When I removed the equation, I started to heal and became more stable.


You can do the same. Should I stay or should I go is another great song lyric. Life became so simple for me when I left the people who hurt me. Life is even better now that I don’t let them into my life at all!
