So I (28F, diagnosed BPD) recently went through a pretty rough separation with my husband. To put it simply, he is not coming back. 

I started off catatonic, and then started reaching out to people more and more, started taking Effexor and some anxiety medicine, etc. But, one of the people I started talking to is a friend (28M) from high school. I've known him for about 13-14 years at this point. We've been talking a lot, and every day I'm feeling better and better, and more and more attached to him. He has quickly become my new FP. 

The thing that concerns me is that he has Bipolar I. Apparently this means that he tends to have a lot of manic episodes, and very few (but severe) lows. I love talking to him and spending time with him, but I'm anxious about how our mental health conditions will end up interacting with each other in the long run. 

I was wondering if anyone on here has dated Bipolar I, and if so, how did your BPD work (or not work) with it?
