"No chance at being normal. Day by day, deeper as time passes. Aware but not being able to deal, coping with what I don't fully understand. Come back for awhile, returning to soon. To soon. One end or the other, even impossible. "

I think that anyone who reads this is going to interpret it differently but if it were me saying it it would be, "I have BiPolar so I'll never be normal. Every day I sink deeper and deeper into depression. Trying to be aware of things but so depressed I can't deal with it, I don't understand what's happneing to me or this disorder. depressed one minute, manic the next, cycling in and out too fast, can't take the changes always seems impossible.
That would just be my interpretation....but like I said everyone's will probably be different.

Thank you. I'm concerned. I know what he did was wrong, and possibly part of his disease. He never wanted to acknowledge that he had bipolar, so this seems like maybe a breakthrough. He is not taking his meds that I know of. I just hope he is ok. Thanks again.

The way I interpret what your ex-boyfriend wrote is understandable confusion from someone who is struggling to accept the fact that he has bipolar.
For someone who is newly diagnosed, bipolar can be very difficult to understand -- let alone exhausting.
When someone cycles between mania and depression, it can take an emotional and physical toll.
A newly diagnosed person may also ask themselves why this happened to them and long for the days when they didn't have this disorder.
It may take your ex-boyfriend time to fully accept his diagnosis, but once he is put on the right meds, he will learn how to cope and manage his disorder.
I think the fact he sent you this e-mail is a huge step in the right direction.
I was diagnosed with bipolar 3 years ago. It took me a year to accept my diagnosis and consider it to be just another part of who I am.
In time, your ex-boyfriend will learn to do the same.
