-    A loss of energy that can come with the onset of depression. The majority o f bipolar disorder cases are accompanied with a depression that can result in feeling hopeless, sad and worthless – and can even become linked with thoughts of suicide.
-    Unable to control the episodes which are associated with becoming angry or being in a bad mood. In many cases the patient may feel as if they are a slave to their moods and are unable to control the actions which are associated with these moods.
-    Feelings of a loss of control over the behavior or the sadness that can evolve and leave the patient without a desire to partake in activities which would have been pleasurable in the past. For many people this translates into a lack of interest and a lack of desire in sex.
-    The patient may cut themselves off from friends and family members which can result in an isolation that can occur. This isolation can actually cause the symptoms which are associated with bipolar disorder to worsen. Friends and family members that notice these symptoms should support the individual and ensure that they are not feeling isolated from friends, family and the community.

    just be there to support her,, i guess she really needs anyone that can actually be there for her, becuase at this moment she probably feels alone, you need to be with her and let her know that you will always be there for her, so she wont ever have the feeling of being alone.
