My boyfriend is going through his first (?) manic episode. It’s been a month and a half and I’m wondering if there’s any hope that he’ll come out of it. He refuses any treatment but I think it’s the mania talking. I’m so lost :(

unfortunately usually people wait until the depression hits to seek help. try to be there for him but stay cognizant of your own agency, don’t feel like you have to be unhealthy to yourself to get him through it, that never helps anyone it just hurts both people in the long run even if it’s the easiest option in the moment

That’s what I’ve been doing. I’m so scared it’ll be months or longer till the depression hits. He really needs help he’s already in legal trouble.

He’s been to the hospital multiple times. It is really hard to get someone put on an involuntary hold in my state.
