I'm not, but... What are you looking for exactly?
Someone in a similar situation who can give you an advice?
What is it that is difficult to you?

Please give us more details so it will be easier for us to help you.

both of those honestly, my girlfriend/fiance has bipolar disorder and some days we are so good but in a snap she is flying off and yelling or catching an attitude saying she doesnt want to be around me.

so if you are in a relationship with someone with the disorder, what things do you do to help you cope or help you help them

As with other MI, make sure you have support outside your relationship. Family, friends, etc. If they ask for space then give it to them. Set boundaries for acceptable behavior. Having your own therapist could help too.
