Anyone ever dated anyone battling depression/anxiety/mood swings?

What did you do as the significant other?
OR if you are battling depression - what do/did you do?

How long did your relationship last?
Is it still going?
Did medication help?
Any cycles repeat?
Any medications you encountered as the dater or datee that helped/didn't help?

It's a big issue these days I gather. Wonder if affected anyone here...

I'm bi-poplar (female) my relationships problems were not due to my illness. I have made poor decisions in the men I would choose, some due to the illness... but no problems to the boyfriends/husbands (married/divorced twice). I always took my medication. If not taking their medication... that is where the problems will come in...

Perhaps you can be more specific in what circumstances your having with your bi-polar friends?
