alex17lol Posted July 17, 2017 Posted July 17, 2017 Well I know my firlfriend for a long time and by now we are 3 months together and we have been together each day even before we started dating. and she has depression its works like that for a few days she has mania and than she has depression the problem is that she does not want to help her self and when i talk to her about it when she is depressed she says she does not have the strength to help her self and i try to talk her into helping her self but she says the same thing I can handle that she is depressed because I love sitting with her and just being there for her when she has a bad time but she never does Intimate only after she had a few drinks or she is very energetic but it does not happen a lot so now when she was in mania it was the first time we got Intimate(not sex) and I got used to it. what should I do with the depression because sometimes it really bring me down when I feel helpless
smackie9 Posted July 18, 2017 Posted July 18, 2017 Ya first off tell her to get some damn help and mean it. Her depression is not your issue to fix...it is her responsibility to get help and to maintain it for the rest of her life. If she doesn't get help, then end it....there is nothing more you can do. TBH you are better to run for the hills.....it's not worth staying.
Miss Spider Posted July 18, 2017 Posted July 18, 2017 Is she on medication and doing therapy? I don't know what else you can do because even depressed people can't help themselves sometimes. Illness of the mind. It's out of your control even though you care. She needs to get help from a professional and stick with it.
Redhead14 Posted July 18, 2017 Posted July 18, 2017 Mania mixed with depression is a sign of bi-polar disorder as well as other disorders. And, using alcohol is about self-medicating. This is a bad combination. She needs real help. You don't have the skill set for this. 1
