I Just Wish I Knew..

I'm cyclothymic, and lately I've been getting alot worse and my boyfriend is getting worried about me, and I'm going to the doctors because he asked me too. But now I wonder, how does he cope with me being the way I am? He doesnt tell me how he feels, he just tries to make me feel better. It's been bothering me alot recently because I know I can be quite demanding and hard to get along with sometimes..I just wonder how he feels and if he's actually coping well with me in this state.

Do any of you have a partner with the same kind of problem?

I just wish I knew how he feels about the whole thing, I dont want to carry on like this if it's hurting him more then I've noticed.

Ho to that Bob, even though we have a so-called free health service in this neck of the woods, but the pharmaceutical industry is one of the richest in the world. How scary is that? Doctors get paid bonuses on how many people they can put on the latest anti-depressant, with no proper trials having taken place!
How many new labels have been invented by supposedly clever men? So they can make even more money.
The worst one in my mind is the introduction of Personality Disorders. Check out the diagnostic list and you will discover that all of us are PD to some degree or other... for PD read 'human'.
I have suffered from depression and I have always refused medical treatment, it's one of the biggest con's on the planet.
I'm not saying that aren't people who need medication for mental health reasons, but it's not the only way forward which is exactly what the medical industries would have us believe.

I agree. But you're not really helping her ^ Are you??

I say, talk to him. Talking does help. I think . . .
