Hi all I have been with this girl for the past 6 weeks who was diagnosed with bipolar disorder few years ago. She is taking seroquel and lithium ATM. Everything went well for the last 6 weeks. She is absolutely a nice girl. Very talented singer. Yesterday she left a message on my phone that she needs space and can't see me as a bf anymore. I was so shocked and couldn't take the message. Decided to go see her, which I did. She was completely a different person, wearing a feminist shirt and telling me that she has no emotions for me and want a space and can't cope with me anymore. I have to admit that i was texting her and wanted to see her all the time. Yes i do like her a a lot. But she even liked me more than me. I am heart broken and need some advise.

My advice is to leave her alone and find another young woman to date.

I agree with IceCreamKid, If she doesn't want to be with you anymore, its her decision. You can't force her to want to be with you. Texting and calling her all the time is not a good idea if she doesn't want to be with you. Just hang in there and set your sights on someone new.

Yes, I agree with the above posts. You probably were sufocating her. Sometimes when we care, we care too much afraid that person will go away so we hold on too tight. This is a good lesson for you to learn..a sad lesson though.....Give her some time and I don't mean a couple days, then give her a call or drop off some flowers. The relationship may be dead, but try again after giving her the space but remember why she didn't want to see you. If this does not work out remember that the next girl is an individual with other interests besides you! Take it very slow, and then figure out why you hang on so tightly yourself!!! This is a good one to talk about with your therapist if you have one.

if you really think she is the one you want to spend the rest of your life with then I would be inclined to accept that she doesn't want the comitment of a bf at this moment in time, let her know that you are ok with that and let her know you are there for her as a friend if she needs you. a 'thinking about yo, hope you are ok' txt once a month or so should be ok to keep contact until she is ready to rationally decide. let nature take its course, it could be as simple as her bp has changed and she cant handle bfs in this state. if on the other hand you do not see a future for you as a couple then stay well away and be gentle with yourself, don't go opting for he first girl that comes along as relationships formed on a rebound usually do not last.

Wow, you must have been really close to her if you have learned the names of her medications in just 6 weeks! What a change of heart on her part!
