My gf is bipolar, how can i help not make a situation worse?

4 Comments

I know everyone is different in some way, so I know the possibility anything said may not all work. She is still a person, not some kind of malfunction that needs fixing. I wouldn't really even call it helping her, because that can make a person feel like they need help like they are a mental patient. It can just be offensive to people. I am just hoping to find some common ground where maybe if I can't understand, I can at least try to not making things worse. I love her. I don't want to mess this relationship up because of a lack of understanding. I know there is no magic book out there, but maybe if you have bipolar or know someone bipolar that seems to make bad moments not getting worse from the wrong reaction from others who are not bipolar. I am really trying not to sound offensive. I just don't want to mess things up by making a situation worse. She can get angry more often than getting sad. Anger seems like the more dominant emotion she gets.

Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    I say act like YOU'RE bipolar. Maybe then she'll see how difficult it is to deal with and she'll seek some real help!

    It’s up to her to take her meds and control her temper. Those peeps tend to make a lot of excuses and blame others, it’s on them, they are the ones with conduct issues. Treat them the same as everyone else and expect them to do the same.

    Your girlfriend is always angry? Honestly if my partner was always angry, I'd just leave. Spending time walking on eggshells isn't worth it.

      So you think that bi-polar people don't deserve any love and patience? Damn.
