The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

I'm sorry to hear that the relationship that had such positive energy even through helping her with difficulties has suddenly gone south on you. I can only speculate about what went on there, if she was getting treatment for her issues in some way, or just trying to learn to live with it effectively. I'm only vaguely familiar with Bipolar, but Depression can be a real downer, not to put to fine a point on it. Actually, it's recently come to my attention that some problems coexist and go hand in hand; I don't know if there were any other issues beyond the Biopolar and Depression problems.
Uhhh...as you say, you're both adults. Eh, the only thing I've noticed about adults that's different from children is that adults have simply learned more sophisticated and elaborate ways of acting childish. I'm not trying to call anyone childish, it just seems to me that all adults are this way to varying degrees. However, I will venture to say that she ditched you because you "slipped up one time" and swore in public seems kind of strange; a bit of an overreaction. Ask yourself how much you want to invest emotionally with someone who pulls the plug on you for this level of failing (assuming that's really the only thing she broke up with you for), and so abruptly!
It may be that she's actually not ready for a relationship such as it was developing, and she used that at as excuse. It also may be the case that she needs to work through her difficulties on her own, before she can take the next step in her life. Forgive her, leave the door open for her if you feel optimistic, yet keep yourself very social as a distraction, keep an eye on what else life has to offer.
I don't know if that helps, and I realize that my post in late in the game, but I hope it's a comfort. Good luck.
