I dated a bipolar chick last summer. Holy s*** that b**** was out of control!
Let's put it this way...
When it was good, it was great. When it was bad, it was downright rotten! There was no rhyme or reason to when she'd start freaking out. Not normal chick emotions, I mean violent temper. I seriously worried in the back of my mind that she might randomly stab me or something.
I didn't even know she was bipolar cause it wasn't diagnosed, but one of her friends who was a psycology major told me what her deal was and said she's refused for years to see a doctor.
We didn't see each other very long. The moral of the story was, stay away from that s***. Unless the chick is the coolest girl of all time, takes her meds, and keeps her problem contained, it's not worth the headaches!

I've been seeing this chick who has severe panic attacks, but I think she's bipolar too, I haven't asked. She is really strange at times. One day she's happy to see me the next she doesn't know what she wants, then starts crying and thinking she's screwing things up with me. I'm not even going to go into details about all the strange shi t she says and does. As soon as things start going well between us she starts panicing. She's really cute, and nice, but I think she has really low self esteem, and is use to being used and treated like crap, I know of several of the guys she's dated and they are not good people (violent and abusive +) whenever I do something nice for her she gets all teary eyed, and is overly grateful, but then the next day she gets panicy about everything. It's unnerving! Her actions scream that she likes me, but she always freaks out about stupid shi t. I like this girl but am wondering if it's worth the trouble. If she can get her self together she would be great! Crazy

Yo man,
Women with wacky emotions and self-esteem problems are so sad. God knows we can quickly learn to love them (which is why it's a good idea to avoid dating them).
Nothing is harder than leaving one of these women because they seem to need you so much, and appreciate so fully what you do. But a lot of the time you can do better, and as you start to build confidence in yourself and realize your dreams, maybe you'll start to see what I mean.
Oh and these women tend to go from needing you to disdaining you in a heartbeat, especially if you let your guard down (happened to me once, see a post in the djb about this type of women). In my experience, women like this have less capacity for stable love.
But hey, leaving them is really hard, I feel that. Anyway, all the best,
Izza

when men are crazy, normal women stay away from them; but when women are crazy, as long as she's hot she'll have a sucker to be there for her.
i dated a girl last year who was bipolar. i didnt know at the time, she was just diagnosed recently, but everyone always knew there was something messed up about her. some days, our relationship was great, other times, she wouldn't talk to me for days because she had a dream that i cheated on her..at least that was the reason she gave me. i dont know man, if it can't be controlled with medication, you're gonna be unhappy.
Yes I have. What I learned from this is that those type of women have an excuse to make problems. For all the bad behaviour, anxiety and panic attacks, I always told myself " hey its not her fault, she is a better person then that". However in the end of it when she walked out of my life all happy like nothing happen in the arms of another man I realised something important and that is:
Even if she is Bipolar/Manic, you cannot let bad behaviour slide in your book. Her mental disease is part of who she is for the better or the worse and you cannot seperate the two and see only her "good side". She is what she is and if she cannot commit herself to trying to treat her problems and getting them under control then you best get out of this relationship.
That relationship also had a deep impact on my life. After she left me, I noticed being around her I somehow was "infected" (for the better word) and for a short period of time I too became depressive and filled with anxiety and panic, while she walked away with my joy. They are like vampires, the more you spend time with them the weaker you become and the stronger they get, until they don't need you anymore and they walk away to look for another man/victim.

people should see emotionally damaged women as retarded people; do you make friends with retarded people? no.
i dated one in highschool for a period of time and she was cool but a psycho sometimes when she didnt take her pills.
Also their sex drive is very fvcked up. Sometimes she was like a deadfish when getting freaky because her pills, when she didnt take them she was a nympho tho.
I never did hit that.

LOL..who HASN'T??

I'm willing to bet that 60% of the girls out there have some degree of neurosis associated with mania and psychosis. Wanna know the sad part? The failed relationships they've experienced in the past only compounds this condition. They are very needy, controlling, insecure and self-centerted. If you enjoy pain and suffering and having your blood pressure constantly at an elevated level, then by all means, date a girl like this and let her flip out on you a couple times to get your high.
More bad news: Many girls that are bipolar are also insomniacs.
Now i don't know about you, but I wouldn't keep any sharp knives laying about in the kitchen while I was sleeping.
