I've been with the same girl for almost 8 months now, and lately it's been nothing but hell. I've tried to walk away from her but its been impossible because I love her so much. Here's a brief history summary, and any insight or advice would be much appreciated, as it is much needed...
We began just being friends, then it amounted to best friends, we spent everyday together, 24/7 and she eventually dumped her girlfriend of 5 months. Not long after, I moved into her townhouse (just as a friend, although, we were in the stages of dating). At the time, she was on Zoloft, and I think because she thought she was doing so well, and was so happy, she could go off it. We continued going to couples therapy and it seemed to help, only now, she's been off her meds for 3 months, and its unbearable. I walk on eggshells with her everyday. I'm afraid to say the littlest thing. She gets so violent and flips out for no reason, she cries, and screams, and throws things. And on top of that, she refuses to see a therapist. I called her dad, but only managed to sugarcoat things, and when he asked me if she took things out on me I said: "No, no she doesn't..." SUCH A LIE! She takes everything out on me. And sometimes I just want to run away from her, but I promised her from the beginning I would stay and stick it out. Although, it seems like I'm bearing all the burden and she doesn't give a shit. She always wants to have sex off her meds, which was a major complaint of mine when she was on her meds. But I'd give up the sex just to be with a nice person. Her mood swings are so volatile and rapid that it terrifies me, and so OF COURSE I DON'T ENJOY THE SEX WE HAVE! I feel like I don't even know the person I'm sleeping with. It's gotten so bad that she says she hears voices, and one minute she will tell me she is so in love with me and the next she says she doesn't know how she loves me. She's become so cold and unaffectionate that I hate waking her up in the morning, because I don't know which person I'm going to wake up next to... In the last 2 months, I've lost nearly 20lbs, without trying... I'm a nervous wreck... And I'm at a loss of what to do... I'm considering giving her the ultimatum that if she doesn't get back on her meds or go back to her therapist that I'm going to leave her... Bad idea?? |

It's funny, the reason I found this is just tonight my girlfriend, the girl I've loved for so long, got very depressed for no apparent reason. I tried my hardest to calm her down, but everything I said, no matter how sweet it was, ended up in me getting hit or cut down verbally. Now, I've seen her angry before, but this was just different.
I would be less than shocked to learn she was bipolar (her dad is a Bipolar II victim), but I would appreciate just a bit of advice on how to cope with it. She's had "episodes" before, but none were quite as dramatic and violent as the one tonight. |
