i am sure you got your answers if she has already went. which i hope she has. it is very important that she gets the help that she needs because i believe this is very serious if she has gone as far as drinking and having suicidal feelings. i am experienced with this because i was a patient of bi-polar and began treatment in 2002. helping is hard. she must first want to help herself before she can be helped. it is going to be a bumpy road for you both as relationships with a bi-polar person can be difficult and hard to deal with. positive words and thoughts are always a plus. patience is the key.
my girfriend is bipolar 2 she is going to see her therapist today i need question to ask him on how i can help her? . i feel that most of the time its me that puts her into an episode i dont know what it is that im doing i try so hard to be there for her but some of the things she says to me hurts so bad that i get mad or depressed like ive failed her somehow she drinks everyday she drinks gin or vodka and she will destroy a 1. 75 ml bottle in a week which alot by my standards i might have 2 or 3 beers all weekend sometimes she says things like i dont want to keep living or she would be better off dead. help me!
