I have been with my girl friend for about 3 years now, nothing in our relationship has come easy, now about a year ago she was dignosed with bi-polar type 2. she is on meds but they only seem to work half the time. she has tons of episodes an rarely seems to be happy.

now before she was put on bi-polar meds she was on anti depressants an they would work great for about a week or two an then she would fall again. and around that time during her finals she felt that she didnt love me any more. this was during her finals an at the same time living at home while trying to hold a part time job, it all seemed to be too much for her. but shortly after finals she said that she was wrong an she really did love me. our relationship got really good there for a while. then she lost her job from calling in sick too much

After that i had left, we moved in together an it was great up until i left my job to find something better but of course i couldnt find anything an ended up being forced to move back home, after that she took a week give or take, where she didnt say a word to me other then she wanted some space. after that our relationship started to pick up again.

now all this time her parents have been paying her bills an rent, but they never let her forget about it(they are just that type of person) but about a week ago they made her move back home, the last thing she ever wanted to do, an now finally yesterday she did it again, after a week of not talking i had to force it out of her an she tells me she doesnt think she loves me the same way as before.

now my question is seeing as how she has bi polar, could this all be the same thing over again? will she wake up one morning after everything has settled an feel for me like she used to? do people with bi polar normally have their emotions an feelings masked by stress and or episodes?

i should mention that since i left my job an had to move back home even though our relation ship was doing ok she was still withdrawn an gloomy mostly due to the fact that she didnt know what was going to happen with her living situation.

Also when we first met she had a very healthy sex drive, an that continued up til she started the meds for bipolar, now its like she doesnt have one at all, maybe once a month does she ever feel horney an even then she isnt really into it(this was part of her grounds for us to maybe break up or take time apart) is this from her meds or a normal thing with bi polar?

*edit* i remembered this year when our relationship started to go down, even with its going up, it really started to take its fall when winter hit, an again it was really warm about a week ago an then suddenly fell into the 20s for the last week could that have an effect on her? i mean she was really happy doing good an then it got cold an she closed off, she hates the cold too
