Please don't stop asking questions. And please do stop apologizing. Just like any disorder there is no one size fits all. As you can tell from the responses some people do have these symptoms and then others don't. And other disorders can also exhibit the same symptoms.

I am so sorry that the anger is being directed at you. It certainly sounds like it is intense. I will not say that she has been misdiagnosed as I am not qualified. But there exists the possibility, as with any disorder, and the possibility of dual illnesses.

I can understand the intense feelings you are having. While unstable bipolar disorder can exhibit strong reactions but the idea behind the medication is to stabalize it. That does not make it right what she has done but maybe understandable. You have been hurt very much by circumstances possibly out of either of yours control and for that I am sorry.

Does the diagnosis really matter to your relationship? Whatever is causing this hurtful behavior needs to be stabalized in a manner that is effective such as medication or therapy or both.

I am very sorry that you have experienced the repercussions and hope that you will be able to heal a relationship that has been strained by unusual circumstances. Please take care of yourself as it is not fair that you recieve the rage that she is feeling. Please take care. I hope things improve.
