Just recently discovered that my girlfriend has bipolar and just need some advice on how to go about caring for her and helping her through it.
She's been told its extreme depression and mild manic bipolar and isn't coping well with the news at the moment
Her mother was diagnosed many years ago with bipolar so we knew it was in her gene's.
So how do i help her during this time? I'm trying not to pressure her to talk to me, but it does hurt alot when she's stubborn and doesn't want me around her. I know it's probably the illness talking but she has said she doesn't need me or anyone to help and asks me to leave her alone alot. I've been researching it abit but would like people personal experiences with things like this.
Few more points:
we're both still young (i'm 21 and she's 19)
we've only just got back together from a split, beforehand were together a year
thanks for reading, i know i blab on but i really don't wanna lose the most important thing in my life
