Contrary to what has been said, bi-polar isn't something you "become" because you are living a double life. Bi-polar is a mood disorder...The bipolar person is lacking certain chemicals within their brain, chemicals that allow them to function like a "normal" person.
Bipolar disorder is often a lifelong condition as well, not something that crops up every now and again.
With untreated bi-polar, the person can be very unstable...
If they are "manic" you could see - an increasingly restless, energetic, talkative, reckless, powerful, euphoric period. Lavish spending sprees or impulsive risky sex can occur. Then, at some point, this high-flying mood can spiral into something darker -- irritation, confusion, anger, feeling trapped.
If they are "depressed" you could see - sadness, crying, sense of worthlessness, loss of energy, loss of pleasure, sleep problems and yes even suicidal thoughts.
The best treatment for bipolar disorder is a combination of medication and counseling.
I hope this helps you...
This isn't something you can "fix" for her...
No matter how much you bend over backwards, it really does have nothing to do with you.
May All Who Seek To Take My Life Be Put To Shame And Confusion; May All Who Desire My Ruin Be Turned Back In Disgrace. ~Psalm 40:14~
