Answer
Hi samika,

It is  not easy living with a Bipolar Person as they may go off any time. You have to understand that if you have mood swings from high to low and you don't really understand why, you tend to blame significant relationships for the down-sides, as you expect happiness to come from that relationship. These mood swings are not caused by your relationships, but from an inner biochemical abnormality over which the person has no direct control.

The moods can be controlled by nutritional means and it is important for you to study the connection between nutrition and Bipolar Disorder. Bipolar people benefit from going on a hypoglycemic diet, but it will not cure it. It will improve on that diet. Please study:

and go to page 7 of Newsletter.
much of this applies equally to Bipolar Disorder
