my boyfriend is bipolar. i like him alot, hes an awesome guy, but his mood swings are horrid. i cant deal with it for much longer... but if i break up with him ill feel bad, b/c its really not his fault, its the bipolar disorder... ne ideas? or encouragement?

pray for him. you need to what's right for you and right in circumstances always: don't let other's issues (because you care) make you hessitant from recognizing what is best for you and situation. God bless you both in this. relationships ending do hurt sometimes.

Is he getting help?

Bipolar people can get better (I did I still deal with it, but on a much smaller scale)... but they can also drag other people down. You have to choose what's best for you.

I can say that my ex had a huge influence on my getting better, and I sometimes wonder what I would have done without him.

One thing I can say is that you shouldn't feel guilty if you break up with him. If it's too much for you and you can't handle it, you won't be able to help him, anyway.

I hope all goes well for you, I get mood swings but they aren't bad. Sometimes I can control them, he is probley going through a tough time right now and needs alot of praying, you need to do what is safest.
