Having Had Bipolar for my whole life, symtoms going back to early childhood, I understand what your gf is going through. Bipolar disorder rules you. I have been married three times and I have 4 children. My first husband was one of my best friends in high school and I got pregnant with my oldest in 11th grade so I moved in with him. At first I could blame my mood on the pregnancy then he thought I had postpardem depresion. But over the next five years one another baby later, I made his life hell. ofcourse to everyone else I made everything his fault. I was still denying the disorder. after we split I went wild..I almost lost my kids b/c I started drinking to deal with everything...over the next five years another husband and child later..I decided it was time to do something about the BD. Then I found my current husband and I have been open with him about 90% of everything going on in my head. He is great to me, dealing with the episodes and beleive me I put him through alot. I try to leave him during these times but he wont let me and hes always right there helping me get help. just be there for your gf thats what she needs. just help her help herself.
