Heartbroken And At a Loss - GF Bipolar w/ Episodes Posted: 10-15-07 14:06pm
Hi All,
My girlfriend was recently diagnosed with
Bipolar 6 months ago and has had many
episodes usually coinciding with her
menstration cycle. She was receiving
counseling and went to the Dr. for meds
but he said he wasn't sure of the
physciatrist's diagnosis. I have
encouraged her to continue theropy but she
hasn't responded. She has left me several
times through these episodes to go back to
her ex who they had a disfunctional
relationship to begin with, for the
duration of the depression but returns
usually a week later. I'm not sure if I
can take it anymore and am at a loss as to
wether I should just let her go or keep
trying to help her. I love her more than
anything in this world and will be there
for her in anyway possible. I have offered
to do anything need to help her or to let
me in to help her but she seems to want to
go through the episodes alone at his
place. I have offered to give her space at
our home but she just responds in a
hurtful manner. I know it's not her it's
the sickness but it's getting very tuff on
me and as much as I offer she won't come
to me for help. Anything I should be doing
or trying to breakthrough to her?

I would say to just let her know that you
are there for her and if she needs
anything she can come to you. IF you love
her you have to be extremly patient with
her. IF the fact that you keep offering
is making her mad just offer one more time
and leave it at that.
if she keeps leaving you for an ex I
wouldnt stick aroun personally. perhaps
this is some of the reason for this.
