My younger brothers girlfriend is bipolar...
Her meds work when she takes them.

It's a struggle for him to make sure she takes them daily
and when she should. Not her fault, she just tends to
forget. It has been said that it's all part of the disorder.

She is a very good hearted person. She just has a mind
that races and gets high doses of anxiety. Usually when
she is having her moments. She taps her foot and looks
really uneasy. Like she's stressed or really tense.
Sometimes she lashes out in anger. But we all understand
why. But later when she is calm she feels really bad. I
often think about how hard it must be for her to deal
with it.

Bipolar and other forms of depression are really hard to deal with, not just for the one who has it, That is a pain just as real as any other pain and can be so much worse. But it is also hard for the oled ones and people around them as well. I know it cost me the the best man to ever enter my life. And it was not his fault he just could not handle the mood swings and all that came with them.
And of coarse that opens up a hole new form of depression.

Do any of you have any idea about bipolar disorder?

well hellllo carebear

sounds like she has bipolar 1
there are dif levels of the condition
and the meds are different and the swings can be more extreme
so forgetfulness can be a side affect of some of the stronger
drugs, which are needed for this type of disorder.

one thing about either, they do intensify as time passes

so nice to see ya!!

boy we all have good and bad days dont we

believe it or not alanon is great not only for families of addict/acoholics but also suggested
for the loved ones of such health issues.

Seek the advice of a medical professional. Preferably in the pschye field.

Extreme mood swings are a good indication...but that could be caused by other things. It is caused by a chemical inbalance in the brain. Whereas depression can be situational, bi-polar is not!
