I am on here because I have been struggling terribly with someone I've been in an on and off relationship for 2 years. I know you can't diagnose her, but her Mother is bipolar and she has shown all the signs. I have read books, watched documentaries and read many many forums. Basically, I am needing assistance in coping with it and moving on. It is so hard. Her out of nowhere irritability, (she never knows why she gets so agitated, so she tells me that it must be me) randomly deciding to up and move far away then desperately coming back for me, blowing money on things she doesn't need, changing her mind every other week about the big decisions she's makes.....her drunken abusive episodes, name calling, making me feel like I'm worthless. You all know how it goes. I've always felt like I'm walking on egg shells.
She will want her space and want to do everything on her own. Her confidence will be high. She will tell me all these huge things She is going to do. She always comes back to me telling me she's crazy and to never let her let me go. Not too long ago she said she was going to get help. Well, she had an episode before that happened so she thinks she's perfect again. We've been broken up for a month now. But she will still randomly reach out once a week. This time I told her we need to talk. Apparently she had no time. I couldn't take it anymore. I went off on her telling her she's just like her Mother was (from the things she told me) and that she needs help. I called her out on everything. I feel terrible about it because I've always said wonderful things to her, but I think she needed to hear it. I may have upset her so much that I'll never hear from her again, or she'll reach out again to keep me from moving on. I understand I can't help her. She needs to do it on her own.
I feel like reading these forums is the only things that helps me feel better. It's like every day gets worse, not better.

What are some things that have helped you in my situation?
From someone who is bipolar, how do you see it? The fact that she told me to never let her let me go makes it sooo hard.
