His mania is sooo fun, especially for him! But it is contagious. 'I need a buzz', but in tryin' live a normal life, also need grounding, and can't find that anywhere w/ him, or me.
Love him? I think about him all the time. I worry about him. I can't stand thinking of him w/ someone else. Is this love? Love has so many un-meanings to me now. It wasn't what I thought it was at one time or another.
He has a mother-son attachment big time and she is ill. I think this is what is pushiing him to push me into a decision. He wants a commitment from me, now!
I know he's taking mood stabilizer Depakote, but not sure taking any anti-psychotic as he says he takes nothing during the day. He takes Restoril for sleep (4hrs or so). Wish Topamax was on 'the system' formulary.
He's a comedian, a poet, an artist, a well-dressed man, ... dam*it he's even handsome and seductive. If you met him, you'd feel like 'you were very important' as he talked to you.
How do I let him go? He's been a part of my life for sooo many yrs. And, there is no other one to take his place (You know, that replace one w/ a better, thing).
I know he's done bad things while using, but tonight wanted to go to an NA meeting w/ daughter. Good intentions.
I don't give up ... that's not me ... doesn't he need me. I feel he'd be 'in jail' or 'dead' if I'd not been in his life to direct him to psych system.

Sounds like you're being co-dependant. He's not stable now. Do you feel you're stable? Love Phillipa

Got back online to respond, but now cannot receive email.
I asked him again about being on an anti-psychotic and he's not ... just Depakote and Restoril, and I guess Imitrex for HA.
I'm pretty stable yeah. I'm back on Effexor-XR, for a bit only, no side effects besides no appetite, so maybe will lose the 10lbs I put on since moving here.
He and I had really good talk last night .. for first time he 'really' spoke from his heart. connection.
Tried to explain mania re: 'he could do it all', but he didn't want to discuss. I'm so surprised that no one else in his life is concerned about his behavior.

He loves me.
Yes, I wonder about 'looking for someone to replace his mother, his protector', too, should she pass away.
