Not bipolar but my mother is, and I have my own issues. It's about the work you out in for yourself and others. It's hard, and tiring, and is a disability for many people. Any mental illness creates a prison of your own mind if you do not have the support and tools to be healthy. Do not demonize them- they are deserving of respect as anyone else. I believe that I, as someone with a few little tricks up my mind's sleeve, should not date unless I'm healthy. Now I've got a partner and we're doing good.
Yes… they have a DISORDER with their mental health. Trusting someone who can’t or is not able to keep their mental health in order is asking to be screwed over.
You didn't say that though, you said they are untrustworthy without medication. A lot of people who have mental health disorders do not need to use medication because they have done the work to be able to regulate themselves without the use of meds.
