My girl is bipolar and has her manic/depressive episodes every now and then. Most are manageable, but this one was one of those major ones.

I work graveyard shifts and work usually 10-12 hours each shift. So I'm doing my thing and I get a text from the gf, she's depressed and has been crying, so naturally I'm worried for her. I rush through my work as fast as possible and race home (we live together) so I can comfort her.

I get back around 1p, and there I see my girlfriend in all her depressed glory, sleeping in the bathtub. I wake her up, she starts crying and saying how she wanted to draw a bath and maybe the warm water would feel good, I dry her off, she stops crying, all is well. I get some food in her and we watch a couple of episodes of this show we've been following for a while and eventually we both nod off to sleep.

Or so I thought. She woke up about 2 hours into our nap (or my sleep), and what does she do? She cries. But I'm so tired that I don't wake up to her sobbing.

About 5 hours later, I wake up to it as it's progressed into her crying so much she has the occasional dry heave and the sound is loud and disgusting. I keep trying to comfort her, but she's being so difficult-- she wants to eat, but doesn't want to make or buy food, but before that she wants her dog to be fed and walked so he can go to the restroom and she wants to do it but can't will herself out of bed, and she also doesn't want to be left alone but she knows I work, which makes her cry and dry heave harder. I held her and stroked her hair and tried to calm her, though she was having none of it. Through all the hours of crying, I was surprised she could still produce tears.

But hours and hours of crying on top of me working 10-12 hr shifts and only sleeping 5 hours just really stressed me out. I peeled her weeping body off of me, told her I'd take the dog to go restroom, got said dog and left for 2 hours.

I couldn't deal with it. I walked the dog for a little, but eventually came back home, grabbed my car and put the dog in with me, and drove to Carls Jr to eat a burger. I got a burger for the pup, too, since he hadn't eaten. We sat for a while, then I got another burger for my girlfriend and went home.

When I finally came back, she had cried herself into a stupor and had passed out on the floor. She's currently still there, I just put a blanket on her. I don't want to deal with her if I wake her up and she just goes on with her waterworks again, but her burger will be waiting for when she's awake.

Am I the asshole for needing some space away from all that? It just gets overwhelming and I'm tired and running on very little sleep.

TLDR; Bipolar GF is having a really bad episode but I'm stressed from working long hours and having very little sleep. Tried comforting, didn't work, couldn't take it anymore, left gf to walk dog and eat burger instead.
