Hi @jonsi, welcome. I'm tagging a few members like @bpforlife @dfb @507 @sally12345 @moustaphagueye as well as @SusanEllen66 who may have some insights to share about managing relationships with bipolar.

Relationships may be more challenging when one partner has bipolar disorder, but they’re not impossible. I'm glad to hear that you are receiving effective treatment and you're sticking to it. That's a really important first step to your interpersonal relationships.

Are you and your partner able to talk openly after delusions pass and when neither of you are feeling irritable and distant?
