how do you work out relationships while having bipolar? i always think my mental health is my responsibility and no one elses. When I’m on a low, I want affection. Most of the time I isolate because it is not my partner’s responsibility to make me feel better. But also I want comfort. Im always torn if I should be open to my partner about this or just learn how to handle my highs and lows just so my partner doesnt get tired of me or think im too heavy. Most of the time im just anxious that maybe i cannot be in a relationship. i cannot maintain one unless i fully understand myself and be familiarized with how my highs and lows act. But also it’s constantly changing, i always have to adapt which even makes me even more anxious bc that just makes me think that i really am not qualified to be in a relationship. codependency is another thing but ill save that for another time. Right now im just so anxious
