Hi, welcome

 

Sorry to hear this, you must be devastated.

 

Has there been any developments?

 

I'm bipolar among other things, it is so hard not getting the level of understanding you need, however there is a logical answer. If a friend went on a spaceship to orbit earth then returned, no matter how they described the trip, we wouldn't really understand the impact it had. Mental health issues the same. A broken leg? No problem. This is why we gather here together, like birds of a feather...

 

Not only are people unable to understand us, some aren't capable of showing empathy nor trained to know how to treat us sensitive bipolar sufferers. This alienation leaves us more isolated and they feel they try but have no idea how to cope with us.

 

To overcome these different roles we often need counselling and I can vouch for the benefits. In emergencies call lifeline or Beyondblue, the number at the bottom of the page.

 

I finally would like to recommend you google-

Beyondblue relationship strife- the peace pipe

 

I hope you're OK.
