A while back, in my support group days, a member stated there was a dating site specifically for BP's. The first thing I thought of, rule #1 to become a member of the site, you would have to submit a official documentation from your p/doc to verify your diagnoses.(what a rip!!!) In all my surfing, I never came across this, nor do I give a shit about it. I'm geographically & financially undesirable...could throw in "one foot in the bucket."
"One foot in the bucket" Bob desires, young, beautiful, promiscuous BP type 2 . She must have good grooming & hygiene habits, have all appendages & digits, pays for all dating expenditures & provider of transportation.
In all seriousness, I have been told, BP dating sites do exist. Make sure it's a secure website...Ha..Haa. God hunting to all.

Maybe I am wrong, but in my opinion, bipolars should never date or marry other bper's if they can help it. We seriously need someone around that is not as nutty as we are. I live in a house with two bper's (the other one is my 15 yo daughter) and not only do we feed off each other making things worse, but in general we can make life miserable for anyone within a five mile radius if we are both out of control at the same time. Maybe we are just extra talented but I don't think either of us should be romantically linked to another bper. If they thought Hiroshima was a big boom, they should be around here sometimes.

I think it might could work. I've been told of relationships that were wonderful to both of the "crazy people'.
Joe, I don't have any money to pay for dates...Young if you think my age is young (it definitley is to yours lol), I guess I could be beautiful, if only I could lose 1000lbs... I am bp type2....are you for real? You aren't really looking for internet dating are you? With another BP?

BP is not the point---there have got to be some common interests (besides sex) or values, or direction or something, and you've got to like each other, at least; if all yoiu have in common is a disease, this isnt going to go very far. How bout dating sites for people with terminal cancer? Personally, every time I have violated this rule, I have regretted it: Never sleep with anybody who is crazier than you are!

lol Clayton... i liked that.
i dated and lived with someone who was diagnosed with panic disorder. he was fine most of the time, but along with the anxiety, he became terribly depressed... during these periods, everything was all about HIM all of the time -- and i'm not talking about time taken from me. he treated his (grown) children with disdain, and if everyone had to wallow in his misery along side him.... the depression and gloom would be so thick in the house that sometimes i felt like if i only had a pair of scissors, i might be able to cut through it.
i don't think there is anything "wrong with" dating someone who has a mental illness; however if you are working on your issues, and they aren't working on theirs, it could be a disaster...!! ask me!
while i understand severe depression, and feel we really should take care of ourselves during this time, it is also nice to let others know "hey i'm not feeling that well, am down and so i might not be functioning very well, and i don't mean to be an ass!" -- or whatever we want to say so others know we are going through a bad time.
i think that's only fair.

with type II...you all know that I stay depressed, with not much mania, maybe some hypo sometimes. My husband has this cousin that stays super manic and all he takes is Lithium due to the fact that our county mental health center doesn't give a damn. He's been in and out of jail for a couple of years. He's only 20. My point is that he is incredibly manic, and what's strange is that every single time I'm around him, we bring down the house with mania. He gets me so manic that I want to go out and party and I do and say things in front of Frog and the kids that I always regret. That would be very difficult in a relationship, I think. You affect others moods, even normal people do, so imagine being with another BP. I couldn't be with him, that's for sure. Two manic people together could be very distructable.

High, i agree -- just because we like someone else's company, doesn't mean they are good for us.
I think that, we need to get to know someone before we date or move in with them, regardless of whether we are bipolar or one of those people out there who think they are "normal" hahahahaha
Stepping back and taking a good, hard look at the other person, and getting to know them helps when we are in a dating/potential partner situation.... if we just jump in with both feet, it could be disasterous. I say just be cautious when looking for a partner.
