It was not a nice weekend.
Okay, I'll come right out with it: the Lunatic Artist is currently moving out, at my request. I was unable to cope with her bipolar disorder and general moodiness, so she's currently looking for another place to live. Meanwhile there has been a solid week of weeping and packing boxes.

Sorry if I'm a little quiet and not-as-funny, but right now I'm having a very bad time. I'll do my best to be in a better mindset when I arrive over there this weekend, though...

Well, at least you'll have BGB
to talk to.

Sorry to hear that the Artist and you didn't make it.

I'm sorry TRL
that sounds like it's been a tough decision.

*hugs*

I'll drop all responses here for the moment.
Yes, it was a horribly difficult decision to make. Having someone you love going through bipolar disorder is hard enough- realizing that you can't cope with it is a major heap of guilt that makes you feel like an absolute twat. And asking a mentally ill person to move out of your house and find their own place is just the fucking icing on the shit cake. I feel bloody awful, as they say over there.

At the same time, she's in her forties, an adult who's been around as much as I have. As has been pointed out to me by a lot of friends, she's not my responsibility, and I cannot control whether or not she's happy. I've been extremely patient and supportive for a very long time, so it's not like I didn't give her a fair shot.

Still feels fucking awful, though.

Thank you all for the support- you're a wonderful bunch, and I'm grateful.

I'll be back to my normal vaguely idiotic self soon, I'm sure...
