r/BipolarSOs is a subreddit with 57k members. The community frequently discusses bipolar, relationship, partner, breakup, and struggling, and the most common flair used is advice needed, feeling sad, frustrated / vent, general discussion, and needing encouragement.
Being in a relationship where one or both partners have bipolar disorder is not easy. This sub is a place that people can come for advice or just to vent so that we do not affect our significant others with our emotions. There are a couple of already popular bipolar subs but having a specific sub just for relationships is important in order to facilitate a community of support. Posts are often about sensitive issues. Please follow our rules and make sure to be supportive.
