You know...someone who was emotionally unstable , someone who was certified bipolar , someone who was just , or someone who at times appears to be borderline insane and dangerous

I once dated a guy who thought everybody was out to "get him". Literally, if he had a bad experience he thought someone somewhere was conspiring against him. He always thought people were looking at him too. That lasted about 4 dates. What can I say....he looked like Tyson Beckford. Our last date he asked me to pick him up two blocks from his apartment because there were "people" watching his car.

I have

we were both young

so I didn't recognize it

until after we were already split

she's been in and out of treatment thru the years

I wish her the best

even if she's batshit crazy

why....are you available?

Just one. He was (still is?) bipolar. Some of my life's worst experiences were with him. Took a little time after it ended but we're friends now. I'd like to think he's better...but now and then I see glimpses of how he used to be, so I'm not so sure.

Friends of mine have dated bipolar people. It's frightening to see someone with such violent moodswings or someone who can love you one minute then want to hurt you the next.

I already told you no pinky in the pudding.

Straight up nuts? No, but I think I've had my share of neurotics. Truly crazy people scare me. You just don't know what they'll do or when.

I am the bipolar. It's not easy to date someone normal, you know ?

that's the word I was looking for. when I think of a neurotic person i think of someone with OCD or somebody who is paranoid or phobic. also i think of the co-dependent types....mentally unhealthy.

Oh yeah... I think I'm a Magnet.

Oh, yes.

Paranoid schizophrenic who became addicted to heroin.

I could write pages.

After we broke up, this person used to break into my apartment all the time and leave crazy messages. I came home once to my bedroom mirror absolutely covered in weird drawings and words in permanent marker. Another time there were two rubber balls left on my kitchen table. One looked like a big eye and there was a note under it that said, "He's got his eye on you." Kooky notes and letters would be slipped under my front door and left inside my private journals. One of my journals was stolen, then pages from it would be taped to my front door.

I even came out of my bedroom one morning to the sight of this person climbing in my window!

Not fun.

One gal . She tried to kill herself after i threatened to break up with her .

It was crazy . At the time , I was so confused and like young ...

of course now i look back on it and think . wtf.

Yes. That was 1 experience I would not want 2 deal with again.

That's so fucking manipulative when people threaten or attempt to kill themselves in order to get the other person to stay with them. It's downright cruel. Basically you're hurting or thinking about hurting yourself as a means to hurt the other person.

When I was 20, a friend of mine had a date with a very fine chic (her name was Klaudia, if I'm not mistaken) and he asked me, as a personal favour , to go with them, because Klaudia wanted to bring a female friend, Angela, so it would be, probably-possibly, a "lovely" night for the both of us..."with high chances of "... (his words)...

well, it was not a lovely night. Angela was a chic with serious, major trouble in her brain...

After tense, boring supper (Angela refused to speak to me, while my friend and Klaudia were both nonstop), the four of us went to a club and there Angela confessed that she believed that all men are "individualistic predators ", inherently"evil " (we make wars and shit) and that I probably wanted to her without her permission... she also told me that she could feel the "karma" of people and she said that I was full of shit and that I was dangerous . I was already pissed off at that point and I seriously thought about going home, when she started to cry for no apparent reason, and then she went to the bathroom for, I don't know, more than 40 minutes.

When she came back (I was driking a long martini ) she unexpectedly said "shall we dance?", and I reluctantly said yes; I'm not a good dancer (unless I'm dancing with myself) and, on top of that, I was scared of her, so it was a disaster She then said "you suck " and asked me if I was a virgin, because, apparently, I danced like one () . I was completely turned off at that point. I reached my friend and told him that I wanted to go home, he was disappointed-angry and asked me what the fock was wrong-stop bitching-you're gonna blow it motherfocker , I said whatever ; it didn't matter anyway cuz Klaudia wanted to go home as well (to go home with my friend, I mean ).

When Klaudia and my friend were gone, Angela said that she knew that she had acted "weird" (her words) and wanted to go to another club ; I don't know why I said yes (hopes for ? probably), but on our way to the new club, she suddenly threw up and said that she had a terrible headache, that she shouldn't be there and that it was all my fault . Whatever. She then caught a bus and left me...thank God...

Truth is, I still feel slighty bad for that girl; she obviously acted as if she hated men for some reason, and judging the things she said and did, she needed professional help. Or perhaps it was my "bad karma", or my "predatory instincts", who knows? Ah, memories...

I mean yeah...that chick was crazy with a twist of emotionally disturbed.

I think I told this story on another thread:

I met this guy online (I know... I was trying to "have an open mind").

After talking to him online and on the phone, I agreed to go out with him. Here is the progression of crazy:

• He told me he was 5'9", so my 5'2" ass put on heels. I opened the door, and I towered over that little brotha. DID HE NOT THINK I WOULD NOTICE?! Then he tried to tell me I was TALLER than I said.
• We went to a seafood restaurant that breaded most of their fish with nuts. I'm allergic to nuts. He bitched and moaned that I was a pain.
• He talked and talked and talked about his ex-wife.
• Then he asked me to go to a movie. I declined, because it was already late, so we would have had to go to a midnight show. I had planned on going to 7:30 church service and then grading papers the rest of the day... He was annoyed.
• The next day, I was sitting here grading, when he called: "How was church?" I told him it was fine. "What was the sermon about? What text did he use?" At that point, I got mad and asked him if he was "testing" me...
• THEN he asked if I was grading papers. When I said yes, he said "YOU COULD HAVE AT LEAST CALLED TO THANK ME FOR LAST NIGHT!" At that point, I rushed him off the phone, AFTER I promised I'd call him later... But I didn't.
• Later on, I logged on to MySpace, and he had written me a scathing email about how we're all bitches, and he thought I was different, but I'm just a bitch like the rest...

I blocked his ass and "unfriended" him, then reported his message... He tried to "refriend" me!

Then I got scared that he had picked me up at home!

NEVER. AGAIN.

Oh damn....wha????? That is some serious CRAZY!

I hate it when people pull that "you're just like the rest of them" bullshit especially when the "rest of them" equals two people.

some folk don't need to be in relationships....or let out of the house.

Not clinically diagnosed as crazy. Close though. I am a Type I Diabetic and have to use syringes to inject insulin. I caught my ex stealing my syringes to shoot up. I also found out later that she was dating some marine who had been recently deployed to Iraq, so I was the "other man".

Even after I ended it, she kept showing up outside my apartment to "hang out" and sending me e-mails and instant messages.

Yes

A mentally and physically abusive Sociopath

each one I met was saner than the last, I come out crazy in comparison

I'm the one who's bipolar and though I think we have a lot in common and stuff like that, I always have thoughts about breaking up cause I don't want to get hurt. He's crazy in a good way and loves to have fun, but for a guy he's too emotionally attached to me and cares so much for me and is worried I'll leave him and stuff like that and sometimes I don't like that kind of talk. We connected well in a short time but it scares me too a lot like life is moving too fast. Most people that know him have good things to say about him and he's done a lot of things in life so I should stop being so paranoid, and besides I would have acted like this with any guy I've dated or would have dated in the future anyways, so I'm the one trying to break the pattern. I just wish he understood what I was going through, he tries and doesn't always get why my sleep cycles are changing and why I can't always return calls and stuff like that, I guess it's affecting us but I'm so used to being isolated and by myself too though if it's for too long I get depressed again. He has been depressed in the past but is okay now.
