Dating a Bipolar Girl

Had our first date- and it went great...she is chronically bipolar and cannot work. I met her at a church dinner. We seem to have a lot in common- but I'm only seeing her "up" moments (when she's on her meds), and not her down moments. I'm afraid to deal with the downs. Have any of you dated someone bipolar? What should I expect?

What should I expect?

a trip to the police station at 3:00am to offer up bail after she's stolen an armoured personal carrier and driven it through the town square because 'it felt like a good thing to do at the time'

or

a scene from the exorcist


or


she might just lie in bed for 2 weeks straight eating potato chips and watching donahue re-runs.


Either way, it won't be pretty. I've never dated anyone like that, but was friends with one. When she was on a down cycle she'd paint very scary looking pictures.
 
One moment the sex will be romantic and sweet and the next it turn angry as fuck and make your penis shrivel inside.
 
sounds exciting, kinda like a roller coaster, except not fun, rather stressful and emotionally scarring...have fun! :D
 
My one is also likely to be suffering from this condition. Oh shaglick!!

It's a strange situation. Good job I'm loopy myself!
 
I dated a chick who had a chemical imbalance. That was pretty close to bipolar. Worst thing ever. One minute she's cool and fun, but a couple hours later she's calling me to tell me that if I don't drop everything I have and go to her house she's gonna kill herself. No, thank you!

what the fuck you lookin at?
women are complicated enough. I wouldn't recommend dating someone who's bipolar on top of being female...pump and dump bro!
 
Bipolar girls aren't relationship material...Bipolar girls = fuck buddies.

Man I take my hat off to you. I have had a total of 7 years with two bipolar women and it is tough. Especially with the mood swings and what have you. However if you can see beyond her illness and see her for the good person she is then go for it.
 
Got to make your mind up now before you get too attached, if you do fall for her you will no longer care if she is bipolar or not
