Is anyone an ISFP? Bipolar? Both?

If you don't know what I'm talking about, I suggest you take the Myers-Briggs personality test.
Anyways, I'm ISFP & Bipolar. This takes a toll in my relationship because I let my feelings overcome my intellect. My boyfriend is judging/perceiving, so he is more rational than I am. When I get upset, I only focus on how the situation makes ME feel, not how I should approach it. Anyone else have this problem? I'm trying to work on it. He always says "I before E, not E before I" which means I need to put my intellect before my emotions before making rash decisions. Ugh... I'm a mess.

My mother is ISFP and bipolar... She definitely does what you describe: focuses on her feelings and never works on her issues.

Does she try? Has she gone to therapy? I'm waiting to get into services but my boyfriend told me tonight he doesn't know how much longer he can take it. We've been together a long time and I can't lose him. :/

My mum doesn't try. She generally surrenders to one counselling session per YEAR - and argues with the psychologist/therapist and comes away saying this person who knows nothing about her is trying to judge her. seriously, I have heard her screaming and raging at psychologists.
