TAURUS: I really just need some support and guidance.
It's probably cliche, but stability is paramount to a taurus.
it's probably pretty tough on him, if you ask me.
the past year and a half were supposed to be "stable" for me, but i keep getting temporarily transferred from place, to place, to place and it SUCKS only because i keep having to adjust, adjust, and re-adjust.
the only thing keeping me from feeling negative is knowing the benefits outweigh the costs.

oh and for the record I'm not a typical specimen
your dude sounds like he needs some help.

Posted by twinkletoesThank you for your comments... I agree that he needs help and I'm trying to convince him to let me help him, but he won't budge. He's SO proud and macho and hates to accept help from anyone. I just keep gently trying to show him the benefits outweigh the risks and he doesn't say "no", but he won't say yes either. He also needs to get on medication but he's still trying to get veteran's benefits. I don't know what else to do anymore but keep forcing myself to stay strong for him because he got me through an abusive relationship before we ended up together and I love him. But I'm broken in my own ways, so it's a daily struggle to stay positive and not think the worst of everything.

my image of myself might be a little skewed come to think of it.
i have a fire rising and moon, and a packed 5th house. i'm probably considered a bit bi-polar to most people
i think we're all broken in our own ways, and need help.
so i don't mean to sound like i'm talking down on him
what's a typical day or week for you guys?
Posted by tresdynamiquesMy feeling is the best thing for you to do is get help yourself. That might give you a clearer insight on the situation and give you the opportunity to allow this to progress. At the moment you and your predicament sounds stuck in a rut.Posted by twinkletoesThank you for your comments...

Hey everyone!
I recently met a Taurus male. Before I go any further, I should mention that this individual is someone that I have been admiring from afar for five months. I would see him out and about all the time, and I was drawn to him immediately an

We were never officially boyfriend and girlfriend but we talked constantly; everyday.
I began feeling depressed and started asking him why he wasn't hanging out with me (he would hardly hangout with me but would constantly text me and Snapchat me). He
TL;DR-- Bipolar Taurus bf (LDR) is drowning and I don't know the best way to support him.
My Taurus boyfriend and I are in a long distance relationship and he is struggling right now. He has bipolar disorder and his life has thrown him one curveball after another: he lost his place to live, his only mode of transportation is gone, he was forced to move an hour away from work and struggles to get there every day, he's broke, and according to him he's in the deepest depression he's ever been in.
As an almost completely true-to-form bull, I can't even imagine how this complete and total lack of stability is affecting him, coupled with his struggle with being bipolar. I've learned quickly that he's simply not able to be there for me right now, so I'm trying every day to put aside my own insecurities and depression and stay strong for him. When I'm positive and loving and just occasionally remind him that I love him and I'm here, he softens up a little bit, but he's been so distant and shut-down lately and it sucks so much. He's even apologized straight up, telling me that he's sorry he's so distant and that even though he knows it doesn't seem like it, he's doing the best he can right now.
He's getting sh*t on over and over and I've tried to explain to him that there is no shame in walking away from a bad situation that just keeps getting worse, and that if he moves up here we can work together towards the future he wants for us (he was dead-set on waiting until he got promoted at work before moving). I know he's proud and stubborn but it's murder to watch him hurting and I can't deny that it hurts me that he won't budge.
Either way, I'm so discouraged lately. A stubborn Taurus man (already hot and cold) with bipolar episodes and a crappy current life... I just don't know how to be there for him and help him through it, and I can't help feeling like the one person he already knows he can lean on (me) shouldn't be one of the people he's shutting out (he won't talk to his family or friends either). If ANYONE has insight on what it's like to be a Taurus with depression or bipolar disorder, I could really use anything you've got. I just want to understand what he's thinking and feeling and figure out the best way to support him. Even just encouragement that I'm on the right track here would be really helpful.
