Srsly, he spent some time in Belleview Hospital in NY before we met and was strung out on smack. But he kicked that addiction cold turkey - points for sanity there. I think he said his Belleview diagnosis was paranoid schizophrenic, but those things are so mutable. Coulda been bipolar but not exhibiting on the day the shrink saw him.

My sister was originally diagnosed bipolar in her 30s. Then around 44, she started exhibiting paranoid schizophrenic symptoms. During my research, i found that many female schizophrenics are misdiagnosed as bipolars, but as the disease progresses the truth comes out. I believe that my sister was made so by drugs. Peter Green from Fleetwood Mac suffered from drug induced schizophrenia... and although i do not know what my sister experimented with, i do believe it either caused or at least contributed to it.

LOL, I actually called the cops on my ex one time and made them take him to the mental institution. The whole time the lady at the desk was listening to us argue and him rationalize why it was my fault that he stepped out in front of traffic. She told me to leave him and I probably need to go back and tell her I was one of the chicks that listened.

My current ex has some deep rooted issues that started freaking me out. Every time he had a bad day (which seemed like everyday after a while) he blamed it on what someone did to him years ago. We argued the day after Christmas over something his ex from 2008 did, and how it "shaped him as a man." All I could say was "N*gga, please." Dropped him like the bad habit he was.

Nothing they were diagnosed with. I think we've all known people to whom we've felt like saying, "I don't know what your problem is but I bet it's hard to pronounce."

I know!! He had the nerve to hold me hostage while he went into detail about the texting session he had with her to "express himself" since she never gave him a chance to tell her how trifling she was. For some reason he thought it was okay to A) initiate contact with an ex he has bad blood with WHILE HE'S WITH SOMEONE ELSE and B) TELL me about the contact in detail. And then got mad at me when I told him I'm clearly not the one he wants! I know men are stupid but they're not THAT stupid!
