“BIPOLAR-1 DEPRESSIVE” With SCHIZOPHRENIA – Does This Sound Like Behavior From Someone With the Dual Diagnoses?

Question by .: “BIPOLAR-1 DEPRESSIVE” with SCHIZOPHRENIA – does this sound like behavior from someone with the dual diagnoses?
He wants to date someone else & calls me “selfish” because I want to “move on” & not be “just friends”?

I told him I was “in love with” him back in October. He still continued to date me for 6 months even though he’s not in love with me (he loves me but is not in love with me)

Anyways, after almost a year of dating (but never being “official”) he tells me he wants to date someone else and “move in” with his ex, who happens to be hist “first love”

I told him I’m heart broken, but if thats the case then Im “moving on.”

I dont want to get hurt anymore and I cant be “just friends” with him because I’m “in love with” him and we’ve slept together several times.

He got all mad at me and called me “selfish.” He said I was “abandoning” him when he needs me.

Let me get this straight…first he breaks my heart by dating someone else and wants to MOVE IN WITH THEM… then he has the nerve to call ME selfish?

He’s had close to 50 sex partners by the time he was 16 , and it was ALL unprotected sex.

Am I wrong to never want to see this guy again and “move on”? I can never be “just friends” with someone im romantically attracted to and in love with?

Plus he’s always “comparing” me to his ex, and i hate hearing him “complain about his ex” to me like he thinks i care to hear that!

I feel that I shouldnt be his “back-up girlfriend” when his other dates dont work out. He say’s I need to “grow up.”

Your thoughts…

He was taking 400mg of the anti-psychotic drug SEROQUEL every night, but suddenly decided to stop taking his meds.

He claims he’s taking 50mg a night now (which i think is a lie), and he completely stopped seeing his therapist once a week.

He only goes to “family therapy” every 3 weeks.

Anyways, in the past year he’s dumped me 3 times, and given me the silent treatment for 6 weeks on two different occasions.

I swear to God he’s making me crazy.

I googled that over 90% of Bipolar people get divorced, or breakup within a year.

He just doesnt seem to know what he wants. I feel he’s just into the “relationship” and doesnt care who it’s with. He clings to any source.

I don’t know about you, but I would’nt want to have sex with someone who had sex with so many people. And I don’t need to date someone who’s leaving me constantly.

Dumping me and ignoring me so many times is wrong. It might be his illness, but it might be just how he is as a person.

Someone who loves you won’t want to be with someone else. You’d be the center of their universe and there would be no doubt.?..even if they suffered from Bipolar and Schizophrenia.

Am I wrong?

The bipolar and depressive diagnoses are serious issues and many people suffering from these conditions seek treatment and are quality individuals for any kind of relationship. However, your description of this person suggests that he is extremely self absorbed, which has nothing to do with mental illness and everything to do with a person who adds little or nothing to anyone’s life. If he wasn’t so focused on his own pathetic interests, he would be taking his medications and looking for ways to isolate his condition from inconveniencing you and other people. He would also be focusing on making your life better.He’s using his diagnosis as an instrument to get what he wants. That’s an indication of his character. I hope you can overcome your irrational attachment to this person. Your care for other people should be spent on the many folks who would appreciate such spirit.

Peace and Good Luck with this.
