I think at this point the best thing to do is wait for her to come back to you. Try to get your life back in order and wait to see what is left of the relationship once her manic episode is clear. How long do her manic episodes tend to last? Is she currently on meds? Is she still in therapy? You also have to realize that you can't continue to put yourself through this. I remember reading somewhere that manic episodes tend to decrease with age and depressive episodes to to increase with age. A book you may want to read is called "The Bipolar Disorder Survival Guide" It really helped me out when I was diagnosed. You should discuss your concerns with your therapist, who could give you better advice than I can.
Good luck and hang in there... karen
