My fiance has always had problems which have developed, or perhaps have always been there, it's just gotten worse, of rapid-cycling bipolar disorder. He has a family that doesn't believe in mental health, does nothing to support him, and when he reached out all he got was "get a hold of yourself." As someone who suffers from severe depressive disorder, PTSD, panic disorder, agoraphobia, and schizoid personality disorder, it makes things particularly difficult when also trying to deal with someone with this disorder. He has been resistant to treatment some days, and then others he is receptive. Some days he says fuck all, and some days he is himself again and apologizes for taking out his emotional issues on me, but I'm at a loss. I hate seeing him suffer. I hate seeing him and hearing him say he wants to kill himself. I love this person and I want to help but I don't know what to do when most doctor's won't let you make the appointment for someone else, and then there's the factor of getting him to go, which I think might be possible, if we got an appointment. Bottom line is: he needs medication, this much is clear, but I am unsure on the best methods to move forward to help him get what he needs that I can't give him because I am not a professional or a doctor, and I am a human being with needs as well, and after a long relationship and dealing with this, it's having a major affect on my own recovery.
