Hello,

I started a relationship with a guy back in 2004. We were young and in love!

Well the past three years took a nose dive we had a blissful seven years that I will eternally cherish. The last three years were a hazy mess. We both have Bipolar. His anxiety got so bad and so did his obsessing over the relationship and his different phobias took place. I haven't really seen him in the past three years, I tried to stick it out hoping he would get better. Then tonight it came down like a Hurricane! He told me if I left his life he could get better. As harsh as it was hearing it I realized I needed to walk away for good. So we split amicably!

I really feel alone I mean I have no friends, all I had was him. Sure I have my parents and my family. It's just not the same. I'm however embarking on this amazing journey of attending a weight loss seminar tomorrow and I see a bright future for myself!

I guess you can say this has been a blessing in disguise.

I'm finding myself again!

Lisa

When a door closes, somewhere, a window opens. I'm betting this is the beginning of a wonderful new stage of your life. Welcome to the site!

You will find lots of support here. Good luck on your journey!

Thank you so much for the support!

Today marks a new day especially since I'm going to the bariatric free seminar.

You can do it. I left my 23 year marriage last summer. I was alone long before that emotionally. We are reborn with WLS and I look forward to many good years ahead, alone or not.

Good Luck Lisa, you are not alone. My bf ended our 4yr relationship. I was glad also it ended because it was becoming unhealthy.

I am going to get sleeve done this august. It will be a new beginning for us.

My ex -wife of 21 years was bipolar (though in retrospect I think she was a borderline). So I feel your pain. Give yourself lots of time to heal. There are many trolls and lowlifes who seem to be able to sense when people are vulnerable after a break up. So protect yourself and heal. And I hope you will blessed by this board. Many supportive people from a large wide variety of backgrounds.
