i have just come off a realtionship/friendship with a gal that is in CD recovery and is also Bipolar II. we had been talking across country for over 2 years. we both knew we each had issues. we finally meet and the whole week and a half is very romantic..... although she was anti Pub. D. of Affection. But being codependent i tried to "help' get her out of it.

well, by the time i got back home and wrote a letter recapping our romantic time together.... she had already decided that it didnt work out and that it was "back to normal" so i became a bit pissed off and fired off a hurting letter (the persecutor. but she got me good and wrote me atleast three letters back that put me in my place and sent me to a therapist and to a NAMI workshop....

so if i was just part of an 'episode' (as sheet our time together a -science experiment- she could back back around.... which would start this all over again.

so i am trying to stay away from her adn thinking about her for at least 21 days to break out of the habit....
