Today, after spending 4 years without dating after an abusive relationship, and going out with who I thought was a decent guy for 6 months, I told him I have bipolar disorder and take medication for it. He responded by dumping me saying he can’t date someone who’s “crazy.” Back to putting my wall up I go. FML

You dodged a round of bullets, ma'am. Don't feel insecure or ashamed. It's his loss. Keep living life, stay on your meds, and don't feel insecure for no one's problems. He was immature.

Well screw him then. If he can’t act normal about a common disorder that you seem to have under control then you’re too good for him. You deserve better.

OP, you are doing the right thing getting your mental health issues addressed. It is sad, but not everybody is prepared to deal with mental health issues - and that’s not really mentally healthy on their part. But just because this one guy couldn’t deal with someone who has mental health issues that are being addressed does not mean everyone is like that…

That really sucks since it sounds like you both were working through some relationship baggage.

Well, I've got burns, You've got a bipolar Don't worry, everyone has some problems. But the person that left you just haven't got a brain

Dealing with a partner with emotional or mental issues is not easy. It requires a certain type of commitment and seriousness that no everyone has about any relationship. Don't build up the walls continue trying until you find the right one who can accept the whole of you. And can love and respect you for whoever you are
