She can't 'fix' it and all you can do is the best you can, engaging in whatever treatment you are under. It sounds like you are needing more understanding and validation and maybe on her part, she's needing some understanding and validation as well --as far as the difficulties with the relationship and whatever 'issues' she may have of her own.
That said, I think coming from a place of 'I can't do anything about it' doesn't leave much room for improving things as a couple. You may be out of control to some or a large extent of your moods when you are in the throes of an episode, but maybe in between you can have some good, calm, mutually validating conversations about how to improve your relationship.
I think couple's counseling may be a big help, so that you can better understand each other's struggles and how to move forward with the relationship to make it work.
