My advice would be to test his boundaries slowly before you let it all hang out. You don't need to let him in on all your emotional problems right away. I'm sure you have many great qualities/attributes and it's advisable to let him see those before he sees the emotional instability. Some people are more equip than others to handle an emotionally unsta...
School Reunions, who has attended successfully

There will always be people in better and in worse positions in their life than you. That's the nature of the beast. My experience has been that most people are too focussed on themselves to really pay that much attention to others (unless they are looking for faults in which case one can never win anyhow). I'm glad you had a positive experience!!!
Redirecting Negative Energy: Reasons to Live?

Sometimes coffee will drip onto my clothing and I won't notice until I see the stain. Or I'll walk or bum...
Identifying Addictive Behaviors Used to Mask Mood Episodes or Other Problems?

I never go shopping when I'm hypmanic. Part of the reason I don't go shopping is because when hypomanic I am not able to make good decisions. I'm such a spendthrift that I've always been cautious during those times. However, I have used other ways to dull my feelings, which are just as destructive or perhaps even more so to my health. I'm also a total ...
Can't cope with the nasty side of people

I completely understand where you are coming from in your post - "I try not to see people as "them". I mean the "us" and "them’. Also forgiveness needs to be a factor here. Some people's senses of humour are so cynical and sarcastic. Let's not write people off without due warrant." That is completely true. I tr...
