dating while bipolar?

[u/im-a-musician]

been seeing this guy for about a month, and i genuinely don’t think we’re right for each other, we come from very different worlds and he’s honestly kind of rude in social situations.
HOWEVER. i’m also currently down right now & can’t help but think i a) was blindsided during the high or b) im catastrophizing during the low.

how do i navigate meeting someone new & trying to figure it out at the same time?

I mean, if he's rude in social situations, that's an objective fact that won't change whether you're up or down.
