Ana: Has anyone had an instance where that support hasn't panned out, when a partner has thought differently about you after having to care for you?Julieta: About a month ago, I made my second suicide attempt. I've been diagnosed as bipolar, and my diagnosis really affected my relationship. My boyfriend had a really hard time with this episode. He came to visit every day, but the day I got out of the hospital, he broke up with me and flew back to the UK, where he is from. I was, of course, really upset that my relationship ended, but I also see how hard it for someone to care for you when you are in the throes of a suicidal episode.I was disgusted, and then disgusted with myself for being disgusted. But I also remember thinking, This is what love is. —Moira Donegan
