I have been watching my girlfriend who suffers from BP slip into a deep depression for the past month and a half. I have been trying to do whatever I could to help support her but she started isolating herself from her friends and things were really starting to get bad. Last week, she broke up with me because she doesn’t know if her unhappiness is genuine or the depression. She hasn’t left her room since and wont talk to anyone. Being the significant other of a diagnosed BP patient is hard but I didn’t expect it to end us. I miss her, and I want her back so badly, but I’m taking a step back and letting her work on what she needs to work on. It’s hard watching from the outside. I hope she gets better soon and I’m staying in contact with her parents to make sure they’re taking care of her.
