I used to think I was impossible to love due to my bipolar disorder. I had so many experiences where a guy told me it was okay and he could handle my disorder and the minute I had an episode I become “a crazy bitch.”

The crazy part is these men thought I was lying because women here in Nola lie a lot about being bipolar. It’s trendy to claim they’re bipolar. But then they met a woman like me who really struggles with this and they feel like they can handle it and give false hope.

I thought I would never find a man who would be willing to learn me, my triggers, and how to be involved with someone like me. I’m getting better with voicing my concerns and needs, so I’m having better romantic experiences.
