It's been 3 years that i moved back here... two weeks ago he told me he has no feeling for me.. Is it a mind game or the illness.. Please be honest with me I really need help Thank you so much...
I went through your description. I suggest you not to worry too much. Your boy friend's case could be of genuine bi-polar disorder. Bi-polar disorder gets its name because the victim shows two opposite behaviors or behaviors which sets itself poles apart.
The way of thinking mentioned here is typical of bi-polar disorder. Only fact confusing here is the intervals. The timing is not apt. The behavioral conflict should have been happening almost every one or two months. That could mean that he is normal in between. Means some expert treatment could cure him off this. I suggest you take your boy friend to an expert psychiatrist.
Hope this clears your doubts. Available for further clarifications. Good luck.
