It's fairly normal. Give them some space when they get like that and make sure you are there with open arms when that mood changes. It's not easy for either people in the relationship.

Your baby will experience severe mania and then depression... It's a tidal wave, but you'll learn about it just being with her.... Always be sure to console her, make her feel loved... when she is depressed... and when she's manic? Make sure she doesn't over spend...

My girlfriend hasn't been diagnosed yet but we are pretty sure she is bipolar. I need help nailing down the signs that she is experiencing the onset of an episode. Usually, it starts with her telling me she loves me so much it might be unhealthy. How can I counter this and help her.

yes normal for bipolar. you just have to understand that she has a problem that she is trying to get help for. she may hate you one minute and love you like no tomorrow the next. she might say things that hurt you to push you away, and things you love to hear to bring you back.

it's going to be a rollar coaster ride, but if you love her enough to stick with her, stand by your lady. when you feel like she is dragging you down to the point that you are depressed, you might want to get out of the relation ship. two depressed people don't make a right. she needs you to stay strong so you can help her through if you are willing. don't give up on her.

you need to be warned that this relation ship is not for the faint of heart. you have to be very strong and confident in yourself. when i first met my bipolar girlfriend 7 months ago i was laid back confident and trusting. now after all the hurtful things she has said to me i am always suspicious of her and am not really able to provide her with the patience i used to so we fight all the time. bipolar people are hypocrites unintentionally; they can get mad at you for anything in the world but if you get upset at them youre being "insensitive". the problem is its really hard when i get so much emotional abuse. ny gf has broke up with me 7 times (about once a month) and its always over something ridiculous. she is so lovey dovey one day, telling me she wants to be w me forever and the next day she ignores me, gets irritated at me and says she feels smothered, even tho she demands all of my free time to the point where i cant study or go out with friends for fear of her going crazy on me. i love her more than anyone else in the world, she is so sweet and an amazingly talented artist but at the same time its the hardest most emotionally draining relationship i have ever had. i cant tell you how many times she has made me a total wreck, blubbering adn crying adn feeling horrible when in actuality everything is her fault. but you have to suck it all up. i recommend doing drugs or seeing a therapist if you want to stick it out. when i was on oxycontin all the time i put up with her alot better
