Living with a bipolar person?
Any tips with living with a person with changing emotions (from furious to nice again on repeat) for the next 3 weeks. So I’m basically somewhere temporarily till I move to an apartment with a girl from my firm. My friend told me stay at this persons house- so I paid them to stay till June and it turns out this person is bipolar. I went from having so much fun the first two weeks in a new city then observing they are going through bipolar episodes. This person is very wealthy- so I didn’t expect it at all. But makes sense now why they have been single so long.
So basically this person turned me into a neat freak within the span of 3 weeks, making me feel like I’m part of the patriarchy or something. He blames me for things I never did, and gets furious and sends my friend angry texts about me not being “clean enough” or “not following house rules” when literally 15% of my day is cleaning obsessively bc he turned me into a neat freak. Blaming me for other people’s messes. I had to get vaccinated bc he was inviting so many people over.
he’s made my best friend feel so awkward bc he called her angry not wanting her to visit anymore. then is sending her texts being super nice again. Like - I’ve never felt so awkward ever. I mean what I’m doing
(1) literally continuing to be spotless cleaner
(2) not hanging out with him anymore and not letting him buy me stuff
(3) avoiding conversation
anything else to make the next 3 weeks not a living hell???? Lol sorry for this vent but like my best friend and I have felt so awkward since Thursday.
Should I even have a roommate coming this June? Like I’ve always had bad luck with roommates. They all had some sort of mental disorder and I always found myself in a state of awkwardness. Don’t know if to risk it again
Hey jorbanana56, I think you deserve a response...heck, everyone does. We're listening, sorry about the delay ...my best guess at places on WSO that could help:
More suggestions...
Hope that helps.
Walking in eggshells is rough. I would probably talk to a therapist on this one if its stressing u or check youtube docs on dealing/communication with bipolar ppl.
Lithium.
Ah, the Jorbanana Saga, glad to see the new chapter.
There are highs and lows. ba dum tss
Tell him to fuck off, and then go fuck your girl
OP is girl
My statement stands.
Jorbanana always gave off big Lesbian vibes, honestly
On a real note, if you're in a city just try to stay out of the apartment and avoid him. Maybe it's a needed inspiration to go to the gym more? Or go meeting new people? Or my personal favorite, pack your laptop, some books, visit your local college campus and do some reading or researching into something that interests you. I know you may not want be out everyday but the best is to just pack your bags for the day and just get out of the roommates way. Eat, clean up immediately after, head out, come back to sleep.As for vetting roommates, I always propose hanging with the person or persons for a drink before I move in or have them move in. Just ask questions respectfully out of genuine curiosity of who they are, where they’re from, what they do, etc. After a drink or two, you usually get a good feel on whether you guys are a fit. If you or they don’t drink that’s fine too, just ask to grab a bite to eat and be shown around the neighborhood so you have time to ask your questions naturally
This thread is dead now — happened a year ago I no longer need advice haha
