OP does not need to enable her behavior.

If he does, he sets (bad) precedent and has nobody to blame for future BS but himself.

correct

there are 2 options here...or more likely 2 very different levels of severity

if she has a legitimate form of depressive disorder, then there aren't any magical cures and she likely has to go on meds. enabling her depression does nothing except make her less reluctant to take meds or do anything to change. it's not her fault, though, so pushing her outside of the depressive zone is important.

there is a MUCH higher chance she is just having a minor case of depression and his enabling is allowing her to stay in that safe comfort zone. all these fake psychologists who are diagnosing her with bipolar are way off. there is nothing in the OP that suggests bipolar (and even the professionals over-diagnose the frick out of it). what OP needs to do is make her get out and do LITTLE things. keep her active and try to keep things positive. she'll snap out of it almost assuredly. however, if he allows her to remain mopey and negative, she won't because there is no incentive to do so. he's already giving her the comfort and attention she thinks she needs, so she will mold her behavior and mind around that

If you think you love her enough to marry her, get ready for a roller coaster ride. If you're just dating her for convenient pussy and someone to hang out with, GTFO.

Yep, he's got some self reflection to do here. If it is just about the pussy and he's worried about not finding more pussy then he needs to suck his price up and get hookers. Much less hassle free.

All the classic signs? Apparently she is an actual functioning human being, so that almost assuredly throws bipolar out.

We can't all bang pornstars on the reg like you, Marto ..

What classic signs?

The depressive side? Sure, but yall are jumping to a lot of conclusions.

yeah she's a college student away from friends moping for a month. i am actually reviewing the DSM IV diagnosis of bipolar 1 and 2 and that is would fall under one subpart of a bigger variable of the diagnosis. "allllll the signs"

Yep, he never said anything that shows the "upper" side of bipolar.

Just wait, the hyper manic side is coming next. She will start to "feel better" and pop out of it, only to swing completely to the other extreme. The frequency of cycles starts slow. It speeds up as the bipolar manifests.

I use personal experience. When I say fake psychiatrist you should rely heavily on the "Fake". I do not even play one on TV.

That being said, I have known both that were real and they were all crazy as a shithouse rat, once away from the gig.
