I'm in a relationship with my girlfriend and she wanted to know how serious I was ever to marry her. I know how big of a commitment marriage is. You take vows that you're better off not taking them or getting married if you don't mean what you say.

I'm bipolar and it's been flaring up lately. A lot of fluctuating feelings of fear and frustration clouding what I may say to her. I know your emotions can play tricks on your mind. I think I really love her, because I have a pull towards her, and I couldn't imagine doing life missing her and being without her. I've been dating her for 4-1/2 years and I don't mind sacrificing myself or my time for her.

Do you guys have the same problem with feelings? Do you find yourself making things too difficult, psyching yourself out of believing what you thought your believed or knew? I mean how do you distinguish between fluctuating feelings or true love for someone without letting mental illness play tricks on your mind?
