Sasha Great post! Very informative and very creatively written. Yes there “all types of crazy” – my workplace has several examples of this reality. lol

Stumbled on this site and I must say bravo! I’m straight but totally bipolar and it makes me bonkers when people find out and start hiding the sharp objects…I usually say something off handed to make them at ease. Great post and you’re dead on about us BP chicks rocking the bed. My hubby thanks the sex gods for my manic episodes!

Julia- I am not bipolar, but I have bad depression. I understand what you are talking about in some ways. The girl I talk about on here “Crush” totally does NOT understand depression at all. She told me last night that no one will want to hang out with me anymore if I keep being so depressed. That is NOT fucking helpful at all. I spent all day today in bed so I totally understand. It is NOT something you can just “snap out of”. Anyhow, hang in there Julia.

Thank you for the post. I am a bipolar lesbian and have recently lost my job, money, medical insurance because of it. Just before it I had met another lesbian online. She accepted my economic/job situation, but had a lot of trouble with the mental illness. She has dumped me because she does not want to deal with my depression, mood swings, and all the other stressors. I feel extremely lonely as one after the other people who were friends have also disappeared from my life. My ex was here tonight to let me know that she needed to go back to a normal life and was not strong enough to deal with it all. I remained very cold and detached, but told her that she left me, that her love was not strong enough, that I was hurt. She said sorry and left. She has a lot of supportive family. I have two cats. Though detached I am aching deeply, but could not tell her I was willing to forgive and try again. She had emailed me and told me she wanted to have some part in my life, but I closed myself completely off to that. She stated she wanted more, somebody who would not disappear emotionally. I told her that she did not understand my illness and that I could not be with her 24/7 in everything. She again stated she wanted somebody who could.
I am drowning in a sea of sorrow and cannot focus enough to care or to keep attempting to maintain my housing. Then she goes…. Has anybody experienced something similar? Should I reach back to her? Right now I have no friends who want to be involved with me, since I lost the job and have no money.

“Think of all the innocent teddy bears out there. Really, it’s only funny ’til it’s taped to *your* windshield.”

I LOL’d on that one–until I read the response from (your “straight” girl hook-up?), C: “It wasn’t a teddy bear, it was a fucking koala bear…” OMG that poor psycho girl. I hope she got some help.

But the crazy girl, crazy sex thang…I know that’s right!

I know this is an old post, but I recently started reading and wanted to go back and read a bit more about you, I am bipolar as well, I was diagnosed 9 years ago, which is when I met my current girlfriend, We remained friends because we were scared of a bad relationship ending our beautiful friendship, we lost touch several times over the years and when we would start talking again it always seemed that one of us was in a relationship. Just recently the time seemed right and we were both single, so now with a promise to try and always be friends we are navigating my issues, mood swings, and recent coming out to everyone (very few people are privy to my love life) to have as healthy of a relationship as possible. I just wanted to thank you for writing this, as well as many other bold brave posts, she and I have read them together being that she doesnt suffer from mental illness, posts like these help her see into our world, you have also inspired me to start a blog it will help her see even deeper into how devastating those voices in my head can be.

Please excuse grammar and spelling mistakes, I was in one of my lows tonight, and so when it came time for my girlfriend to leave for work it was the push I needed to send me into drama mode. She then asked me if I might be emotional because my period is due, and I got hysterical and cried over every loss from my best friend to my cat when I was 5 while frantically cleaning the house and doing laundry, Which something I do so that I wont be more of a “burden” then I already am….and now 5 hours later I am calm and embarassed that I even acted that way…and what do you know I even started my period.

BIPOLAR LESBIANS OF THE WORLD, UNITE!

There is SO much stigma around mental illness… Add that stigma onto the stigma of being a lesbian… OMG STIGMAMANIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been bipolar for 10 years now, and I am JUST NOW getting my condition under control. I hope I never get my lesbianism under control, though.

I think you say it yourself in the second last paragrahph – the difference, in my own experience, between “difficult” and “impossible” is parallel to the difference between bipolar and psychotic (or really disturbed). As it happens my straight best friend is very severely bipolar, heavily medicated, and there are a lot of things I would recognise, but also a lot of distinctions. For her, its extremes of thought that are often problematic. She often cuts people out of her life because of a perception about them that is misinterpreted, or sometimes, a response to something she did or said. A great deal of patience, understanding and acceptance is required.

As a bipolar (BP II) lesbian, I have to say – I’m probably the sanest crazy person you’ll ever meet, and these kinds of blanket statements drive me nuts.

I always want to say, ‘You WISH she was bipolar, because then it WOULDN’T be creepy.’

Cheer to the post.

It wasn’t a teddy bear, it was a fucking koala bear because I know how much you want to go to Australia. I thought you would think it was funny. I wasn’t trying to make you mad.

“Does she cause scenes in public?
Sleep around when she’s bored with life?
Is she the best sex you’ve ever had?
Does she make you feel like you’re the only person on the planet?

Well that’s a toss up. Because bipolar and psycho chicks are both amazing in bed and can hoe it up with the best of them.”

Shit, so I still have no idea which one MY ex is… I vote to vote. All in favor that my ex is both bi-polar AND psychotic say I.
