Hi~
Thank you SO much for the work you do. I am thinking of looking into meridian tapping to help me and my fiance.
She was diagnosed with bipolar, and visits a therapist. She IS doing really well, and is studying Pilates, and very driven.
She's gone drinking with a good friend twice, and the first time, called me in a rage and upset she couldn't find a parking space, and 'why wasn't I home.'
The second time i was here, but she had a noticeably different personality swing, and stared into my eyes, with almost a 'look of daring', or a 'crazy' look. It really upset me, and i just held her and waited for her to relax. She immediately started feeling body issues, so I just told her I loved her.
I know it's hard being with someone bipolar, I just am worried about the alcohol, and i don't want to just pretend everything is alright, even if she's doing well...it's like an 'elephant in the room', and if i just say ' well I'm proud of you, you're fine', then it seems like I'm not doing right by her.
If i talk about it, then I'm afraid I'll burst her confidence, or trigger something and she'll relapse.
Just need some guidance, anything...thank you !
