| Re: Can anyone help me interpret this please?
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.
