I'm so lonely. I've been trying to help my boyfriend adjust to the fact that I have bipolar II and that it's not going to go away and he doesn't seem want to hear that. He seems to be distancing himself from me and I feel him pulling away from me. I already lost two husbands because of this dreaded disease and I HATE IT!!!! I have 3 children. One just went off to college so now I am left with two at home. I feel that when they get ready to leave I will really be alone and I will be left with no one and that scares me. I don't want to be alone. I fill my house up with animals. Dogs,cats,birds and rabbits so that maybe they can fill the void and emptiness I feel inside. They help to a certain extent. I also Isolate myself from other people. I don't know why I do that. I don't have many friends. I used to be very popular in high school and I was always very much liked by my coworkers when ever I held a job. I just sometimes feel a need to drop off the face of the earth and hide away. I want to call him and ask him if he wants to break up the relationship. I want to ask him if my illness is too much for him to handle. I don't want him to stick with me because he feels sorry for me. I don't even know if I even love him. I just settle because I don't want to be alone. I am thankful for having a place to express my feelings. I'm not crying anymore. I'm feeling a little better now. Merry

It is wonderful to have a place to come to when things seem unberable, isn't it? I was very upset today and wanted to post, but the darn site wouldn't let me. I fixed it, thank goodness. I have two children and one will be going to college in 2006. I don't want that day to come, I can tell you already. You should be really proud that you raised a child that is ready, and had the grades to go off to college. What an accomplishment for you, that must be a wonderful feeling!!! As for the boyfriend.....I know that I would need some answers before I could calm down, but maybe he just needs some time to think things through. You could always call him and just make some small talk, then see if he says anything that would answer your questions. Hand in there....animals are great, I know they help me with my sanity. I love 'em. -L
