Well, obviously you had some hopes that the relationship would be a positive one for you. Being disappointed is never easy. That will pass.
Does she have intense mood swings? Seeming either moody and depressed or overly happy and excited with very little in between?
Does she exhibit poor judgement and seem to have difficulty in making decisions?
Is she very easily irritated? Does she snap at people for little or no reason?
Does she have overly indulgent behaviors, say with sex or buying things? Does she seem restless and always in need of something to do? One thing that is common among most people with bi-polar disorder is an inability to control their thoughts, and they are constantly looking for distraction, but at the same time nothing keeps them occupied for long.
Eating and sleeping disorders are very common. Especially an inability to sleep.
None of these on their own, or even all of them, are necessarily indicative of bipolar disorder. I'm certainly not trying to diagnose her. I can't stress that enough. Just relaying what I have observed in my experience and confirmed by reading about the disorder. I mean, we all have these tendencies to one extent or another. But those with bipolar disorder just have a slight variance in brain chemistry that makes them behave irrationally very often. Consequently, and interestingly, people who suffer from bipolar disorder are also often very creative people.
