I think you need a hug.

I know a little bit about loving someone with manic depression.

Is it possible that she is heading into a depressive phase? That is what it sounds like to me. I think you need to evaluate whether or not your relationship is worth riding this one out. Whatever your decision I wish you all the best.

I ended up taking anti-depressants to help me deal with the emotional roller-coaster of loving someone bipolar. At first I thought it was ridiculous to have to medicate myself to deal with someone else's issues, but what I failed to recognize is that I was becoming depressed and R was feeding off my negative energy. When my depression cleared up, things improved for both of us.

I hope things work themselves out for the best; they usually do, you know.
