Please help my best friend is bipolar

I was wondering if someone could please help...or offer some knowledge or advice . My best friend is bi-polar. and I would like to know more about the symptoms. Does it cause one to constantly find fault in another over very small things ? Does it tend to make a person/her want to control or have control of the way another person reacts to their actions. It has to be her way or not at all. it has been this way most of our relationship when we were together as boyfriend and girlfriend and then also as being friends and I just need some clarity please. I have been having constant problems with her and She blames me constantly especially over little things.and even some of her actions . we have very good days and then GOD awful days over the smallest things. She says that i push her away but when she treats me certain ways it hurts me. and I deal with my own illness of severe depression and issues and low self esteem. nevertheless she has been a good loving friend to me as I have tried constantly even to my own detriment to be for her. Of course I care about her and I know that she can't help herself. she can't take her medications now because she is pregnant and it's a constant roller coaster. She acts as if I have committed crimes against her if I leave an phone application open accidentally . And then she gets very frustrated and defensive when I even attempt to explain things. I would like to understand better.And at least point these things out to her. it is not to find fault or blame but to help her at least see sometimes what she is doing... of course after she is calm. She says that she wants the truth from me and I think that it would be best if I had more knowledge. She is a very important person in my life and I would like to know if the problems that we had as boyfriend and girlfriend certainly stemmed from this illness and not always myself. If someone could please point me in right direction and or offer pertinent information it would be greatly appreciated. I am not asking because i want to blame her but I really need to understand so that when we talk I understand better and I maybe could make some changes or do some things that will help her as well.

I'm sorry that things are struggle right now. Prior to being pregnant and off her medications did she act this way? Is this something new? There are some medications that are safe for pregnancy, Is she seeing a Therapist to help her learn ways to manage her Bipolar while expecting.

Is she aware that she is acting poorly to you or is she clueless? Bipolar can be hard to handle but its never an excuse to be mean. Make sure you take care of your own mental health while trying to be supportive of her.
