She can be laughing and then a few moments later something can set her off and she can start crying. No joke!When this started happening I was at a loss. Then it started bothering me. I asked her, "What is the matter?" and she wouldn't tell me. Then when she became cold, I would say "Did I do something wrong?" and she would shake her head. At one point I got mad, saying, "At least tell me what is wrong! Why are you so cold to me?" She then got mad at me, saying, "I have a right to act how I want! Don't tell me how to act!"I really do not know what is going on. It gets me real nervous because I don't know if it is me that is saying something wrong or not. Should she try to control her moods more? Is such a shift normal over a long period of time? Is she right that she has a right to her own moods?

People who are bipolar have severe mood swings and can go from euphoria to despair in the blink of an eye. The hard part is bringing it up without her snapping your head off about it. Maybe try starting the conversation off by saying how you have noticed the mood shifts and if this is new thing for her and it has you concerned. You can also pray for her. Good luck!
