I’m not bipolar so I don’t know if I’m allowed to post in this community but my GF of 4 months got diagnosed today and has fully withdrawn in to herself and does not want to speak and I’m worried. She has suffered from mood swings and depressive episodes whilst I was with her but never directed towards me. She’s extremely loving and affectionate but suffers terribly from low self worth and puts all guilt of anything on to herself.

I care about her a lot but I’ve heard that bipolar people can make relationships draining and stressful for the other person and this is my first ever relationship so can I please get some advice as soon as possible on effective things I can do to help her? Thank you
