In my opinion cutting yourself can be one of the safest self-destructive outlets depending on how it's done. I am bipolar 2 so it's my depressed episodes that get really bad, and I become entirely irrational.

As if my mind, and how I think, is different because I have this disorder. Shes going out loads more drinking, hanging out with other guys. Additionally, if she is on medication she is at least obligated to see a psychiatrist.

Girlfriend is Bipolar and I'm at breaking point

Hi, we have been together 3 years and have a 16 month old baby. She is a very good mum but I cant help notice her severe mood swings are getting worse. She has been put on anti-depressants but this doesn't seem to help. She has recently started cutting me off. We split up in June last year which is when she was prescribed her anti-d's. We never really spoke in that time as she cut me off then but one day randomly called me up in tears and practically begged me to get back with her which made my world. Since being back together she now has up days and down days and when she is up she is a pleasure to be around but when she is down she can be nasty. She always says I am trying to control her because I simply ask how her why is my girlfriend bipolar was and ask who she went out with. I ask out of interest as she is my gf and love talking to her. But now she seems to think I am out to get her. She often turns to drink after we have had a row and then when she has calmed down is she is sorry for everything and apologises for her actions and it wont happen again. Then less than a week later we are further back than when we started. She isn't violent towards me but has stuck fists through doors and stuff. I might ask her what she fancies for dinner and world war 3 is on its way because I said I dont feel like chicken or something silly. She will then change, I recognise this straight away by her breathing, twitchy behaviour, zoning out daydreamingthe reach for a bottle or pack of fags and if its fags one won't do. I am not an angel but it is now at the point where I feel I am walking on eggshells around her. The latest thing is why I am asking for help because I love her dearly I really do but I need help on how to one: approach her about it, two: where to look for help and three: if there is anything wrong with her at all or is it me being to picky. This is how we currently stand. She said she was going out friday and saturday this weekend which doesn't bother me as such apart from the fact she told me she wanted nothing to do with me a fortnight ago then on wenesday just gone she she done the whole she has made a mistake wants me back apologised and I said if she wants our relationship to get why is my girlfriend bipolar then we need to work on it. She said ok sounded all happy and that again. Friday came and she said that she would be round saturday so I could cook her dinner before she went out. I was delighted and eager to cook a nice meal to show I wanted to make an effort. She went out friday and we never spoke until the saturday morning. I asked if she had a good night and she told me yes great. All good are we actually getting somewhere. I asked what she wanted for dinner and got the stuff out she was off to get an outfit for that night then coming to mine to eat and get ready. By now 6 hours has gone why is my girlfriend bipolar half 4 I havent heard from her so ring her mobile flat battery. Ring her sister as thats who she went with and they werent together so I rang her flatmate and just asked if she had been in contact he said no so left message. I then got through to her half an hour later and she picked up the phone and screamed at me asking why I was so controlling. I didnt think being concerned was a crime was just ringing to see if she was ok and what time she was over as it was getting late to which I got the reply. Why would I come and have dinner with someone who aint happy unless I am controlling her every move. I am now blocked on phone, whattsapp and fb. Please help me try and understand where I am going wrong or if indeed may be correct in thinking that maybe its not just depression she is suffering from. Look forward to some kind of response. Nick, do you have a 16-month old baby together. It sounds like you live separately - who does why is my girlfriend bipolar baby live with. I don't think you're going wrong either - it sounds like the problem lies with her. Commendable that you still want to work things out after the way she has treated you - but don't get burnt out yourself. Yes the baby is our child, we don't live together because of the size of the place she has is smaller than a studio flat. We are now that rocky that I dont think we would be able to live together. I dont even know whether I should say something to her or contact someone behind her back. She has a lot of history behind her which she seeking help for and I tell her to hold her head high and support her through this when she lets me that is. The baby lives with her but I help out as much as I can have them round mine at weekends and before I went back to work had my little one every monday and wednesday to help her out. I just dont know how to get the ball rolling without my making her sound crazy because she is sensitive due to her depression, but still I think it goes deeper than depression. I looked at the bipolar signs as her sister has been diagnosed with it. Out of 13 she regularly shows up to 8 or 9 of them and her behaviour imitates everything I have read so far. Then you can talk about some of your worries in safe environment. It is possible to get post partum post natal depression up to 5 years after the birth and the symptoms can be mild to severe. To me this should be excluded from the diagnosis before digging deeper unless these symptoms were present earlier on in your relationship. I have bipolar 1 and really feel for you because it must be hell to live with. A few thoughts: the age gap - 19 is really very young and having a baby at any age is a huge life changing event for a woman, mind body and soul. A medical checkup might be a good idea as all sorts of physical problems can happen after having a child. That way your relationship issues dont get in the way of communication and her treatment for depression. I know when Im ill it is simply impossible to be in a relationship - she has to prioritise her own recovery for the sake of your child. And itll take the pressure off you too - even if itll make you very sad. Good luck and I hope things get easier for you. Sounds like atypical bipolar behaviour. Until I was on the right medication combination I was exactly like this. My husband has been wonderfully supportive and I am very lucky indeed. It sounds like she needs to be on some kind of antipsychotic medication still which she will be able to come off eventually and gradually. Also a mood stabiliser such as sodium valproate and a lower dose of antidepressants. Does she have a psychiatric nurse or support worker. Try and express your concerns at a time when she is not around. There should also be telephone helplines to give you advice. I have had this for 14 years so have become a bit of an expert on the subject. You are being very brave and well done for giving it a go. My husband has seen a huge change in me and sometimes says that he is able to forget sometimes that I have bipolar type 1.

The dope she smokes makes her thought process dumber than a moron, but the bipolar is like speed so she gets none of the mellowness. Then come home with tales to tell and accomplishments to flaunt and friends to introduce. She said your girl is on a dating website. He actually opened the door which he normally in that state refused to open for me. It will release hormones that will make you feel good and better about yourself. Most websites and articles online are written by angry, bitter people who hate Borderlines. I couldn t reach him for one month. I may be that guy at the gym you were always afraid to ask out.
