This lasts anywhere from a few weeks to months then she will contact me and say she misses me and is in love with me and wants to come back. I always take her back and its good for awhile and the it starts all over again. I understand its the disease causing this and I know it tears her up inside too. She is on meds but hasnt seemed to find the right combo yet. She never stays put long enough to get a good routine or see a counselor regularly. This last time she was back for 2 weeks and then left a week ago. I try the best way I know how to cope on my end and to also help her even from a distant but when she leaves she either cuts off all contact or treats me very cold and emotionless. Has anyone else experienced this, is this typical for bipolar and how to I help her and myself. She is a very good person and very loving when she is not having an episode and I love her unconditionally and I am in this for the long haul with her. Any advice or insight would be appreciated.
