How to Breakup/Deal With Break Ups: Bipolar?, addiction alcohol, lithium carbonateI can answer questions about break ups, and how to move on..I've been through a few of them myself and have learned what to do and what not to do in order to heal, move on, or try to get someone back. No guarantees as each individual is different but I can do my best to help!!My girlfriend and i have been together for a year and a half. We both have done our share of alcohol and drug abuse. I personally take a medication called lithium carbonate. It was prescribed to me 15 years ago for depression. One day out of the blue she snapped on me and said she knows I'm bipolar and i never told her. I spoke with my doctor and I am not. I get low never manic. The bad part was when the break up occurred she called my employer with allegations that made me lose my job. Then she continually spreads lies around town. She is brutally abusing me emotionally and then backpedals saying she misses me and loves me . Forwhatever reason, i miss her. Even after ruining my job and reputation I keep wanting her back. She is very vindictive and hurt me badly. Why do I feel the need to win her back? Is it love that is forgiving her or is it the feeling of losing the game? I haven't snapped but it has been very hard. I stopped the drugs and drinking. Got on schedule with my meds. So I am dealing with drug addiction, alcohol and a break up.
