Me and my girlfriend troubles...

Hi,
So me and my girlfriend have been having problems....I first met my girlfriend back in a Pych Ward in Aug. We got along great and we lived really close to each other after we got out I asked her out on a date and we went to the movies. Well everything went smoothly for the first month. Then a few weeks ago it went haywire. I have Bipolar Type I and I am on Lithium so my mood is kind of neutral I don't get overly happy or sad....So I have a dull mood per say...I mean its getting somewhat better but I still have it. My girlfriend has Bipolar Type II, She is on a Cocktail of Meds for Depression: Prozac, and 2 other ones. At first the fight was after homecoming I asked her a simple question about how did she like what we did after homecoming (Something Sexual Not going to get into it) And she shut up....My general idea is to press a little bit to see if she will give into giving up the answer....Well I got into my disappointed/annoyed mood so I gave a Ok Whatever and She was already in a high temper....My brother decided to tinker with the internet and I lost internet connection so I went offline she thought I logged off on her....I return and my offline messages are building up saying Don't you FUCKING dare and You FUCKING just didn't log off on me...I was perfectly calm trying to get ahold of the conversation and get it back to normal...Then it manage to calm it down but it was awkward after that then she says she wants a period of being single for the rest of october. I mean I tried getting her to talk more but she was still sad and mad about the last fight....I sleep last saterday and low and behold I have 3 calls on my mobile from Saige and then 4 messages on Yahoo telling me I havn't called her in 6 days and I am a forgetful boyfriend and I don't pay enough attention to her and on and on about I didn't do this and that.....I was suppost to see her that day but she said her mom wouldn't let me over but she lied to me she didn't want me to come over so she yelled at me all day....I calmed her down when I was finally going to bed.... I called her the next day because I never did get her over me not calling and everything was going happy and peachy....I called expecting a breakup so my mood wasn't too happy I didn't know what to expect when I phoned because we were off on a bad foot. But it went well I was walking down the street and I asked her if she was here and she replied no I'm over there. With the most sarcastic voice ever its like she is making fun of me. I know it not to be the case but she did it when I was in a bad mood...So I naturally explained what was on my mind...She got mad and then said then you don't like my personallity so you don't like me...I was explaining myself and she gets mad and she says you know what we are over. And she hangs up on me....I call agian and hear her cry and she yells don't call me agian and hangs up on me. I get home and the next day I am talking to her because she calmed down....I say sorry get it back to normal....I am trying to get us back togeather giving her her space, everything but outright asking. The next day she says stuff and I reply I have tried everything to get you back and list everything. I have racked my brain till I nearly wanted to shoot myself to figure out what I did wrong.... She replies you didn't do anything, My fam has been bickering about my grades, kids at school have been insulting me, and something about her homework and other things. So it was all Enviromental putting her in a bad mood....So I flat out ask her if we can go back agian and she says yes. But there is this guy named Dakota who has been pestering her for a while to go out with him and she made a promise with him that if we every broke up that he could go out with her. So he has to date my girlfriend before I could go back out with her. My girlfriend failed to tell me that she was only going to go out with him for a week (This past week) and was suppost to break up with him today. I don't know if she did...So we could start dating agian The only reason she told me that ^ was because she read my status and saw I was taking down my memory wall (A wall of every memory and every date or message I got from her is on that wall, Notes, Movie Tickets, Homecoming Tickets, Drawing, Photos etc.) She got really mad at that...I just was archiving it into a box for later use or not. And I had long since took it down the status was 4 days old and she just noticed yesterday. so idk I really need help/ advice it is hard figuring her out...She gets happy or really moody her meds arn't working and mine work off and on and I am getting ready to be put into a experimental research program (A addon for Lithium) So I am trying to get this sorted out before the 29th Our 2 month mark if it hits that day I am giving up all hope of dating her agian....Because I will be so depressed on the 29th that I might just land myself back in the pych ward...idk.

She's A) a teenage girl and B) Bi polar. It's one of the roughest things to be in life and I'm so glad to see you've been patient with her.
Let her know how you feel, like you're being jerked around and, well, I don't know how you feel, but I'd be damned pissed she went off and dated this guy just 'cause he's hasseling her. That's super aggravating. Before you guys start dating again, tell her what you need and want, you may have to compromise some, but it'll get her to respect you more, see you as a person with feelings that she can easily hurt. It sounds like she's taking all her stress out on you. It's easy for a girl to do with w/o realizing it 'cause their b/f is the one person they don't feel like they need to hold back on, that they can let everything loose 'cause he's supposed to be strong and take it. But it sucks that she's like, actually directing it at you, making it personal and painful. Just think up some guidelines. Don't deliever them in a 'this is the way it has to be' fasion, just say a lot of I statements, "I feel" "I want" etc. And make sure to explain that you don't ever want her to think you don't like her personality or her self. Say something like, "Honestly, it's a bit rough to deal with your mood swings but that's not YOU. You are far more than your moods." Good luck, that's all I got

Ahhhh depending on your stage of bi polar your sex drive can be really down,
i mean im a boy and if im feeling low i have no time for my girlfriend which can be a pain :S. If you like her enough to stick with her, try and recognise the signs of depression, if the signs are there, then your out of luck :), :p Hope things turn out ok
