first it is nothing that you said or did that brings on the episodes. bi-polar disorder is very difficult. i am bi-polar. it is very important that she gets help for the drinking. many people with bi-polar disorder self medicate with drugs and alcohol. the best thing you can do for her is to make sure she gets help.
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!
