Thank you for your input. I agree that I need to be there and be supportive of my girlfriends feelings even if I am down. She needs to know she can trust me. I have opened up all my emails, phone, and bank accounts to her. I call her from work and on some days she will bring me lunch and eat with me. I think this is a step in the right direction. Thank you again. I see you have identified some of your triggers during our manic episodes so you can better manage them.
