Yes Zoecb, I tried them. I was on them for six months and I felt so bad I just couldn't do it.
I'm sorry about your cousin, aunt, etc. , I know how hard suicidal thoughts are. I live in a tower block and the temptation to just...fall...can sometimes be overwhelming.
There is little that can be 'done', in a sense. I am controlling it better than I used to. I don't need help with my disorder, I need help with helping my boyfriend cope. I've lived with it longer than he has, and he's having trouble learning to adjust.

I have bi-polar disorder.
When I have a down-swing, I don't really feel too affectionate, and my boyfriend seems to find this really hard. I'm having to fake passion and energy when kissing him, when I'd much rather be curled up in bed, otherwise it just starts an argument.
I've tried talking to him, but he tries to 'cheer me up' and tell me that I'm making something out of nothing, and it's not.
I refused the mood stabilisers that the doctor offered me, so I suffer the full brunt of the disorder whenever it happens.
How can I explain it to him? Why can't he just let me be?

Tell him what you wrote here. People can't understand what they don't experience (obviously there are exceptions, but you see my point). He needs to know that you can't always be happy and such, and you shouldn't have to fake your feelings.

i'm seeing a girl who is bi-polar. she was round tuesday and we were getting along fine then she just got pissed off and left..
we spoke on the phone for maybe 4 hours (i've only been with her a few days) and she just told me that "this is me, and this is part of me.. i want this to work, i really like you but this comes with it - so if you can't deal with it then maybe we should leave it".
it doesn't bother me too much, because i'm extrrreeeemmmmely laid back, but try saying a similar thing to your partner, and if he's worth it, he'll accept it.
