I guess my shrink was correct to diagnose me wit bi-polar disorder because I too call random people in the middle of the night. Sometimes I do it when I'm depressed but usually I do it because I'm bored and cannot sleep. Occasionally I will call someone I haven't spoken with for a long time - still! - a 2 or 3 a.m. because I had something to tell them or I missed them.

A lot of people call their ex at 3 in the morning? Especially people between 15 and 25. I hear stories of this ALL the time. I think the more people mature, the less they do things like that. This also all depends on what kind of hours she knows you keep. If you are always in bed asleep at 10:30 - then yes - totally inappropriate and she probably is a little emotionally unstable. I say this only because you say she had major mood swings when you dated. If it was the weekend and you are the type that is always out until the morning hours.. not at all inappropriate. That is very common behavior. I think it is all relative to what kind of lifestyles both of you lead. Was she drunk? That's called drunk dialing. I would call this manic: You both are very conservative types and try to keep regular schedules. You are in bed by 10:30 pm most weeknights. She calls you at 3 am on Wednesday either crying or on top of the world happy. That would be bipolar behavior. More info needed here to make a call.

The 3AM call could have been either. If she's seeing someone and became depressed, she would call. If she's manic she would also call. Try to remember what she said, and the way she was saying it.
Do you know if she is getting any help for her condition (meds/therapy)? If she's not, you should try to get her into some type of program. If she's a minor, that would mean involving the parents, most likely. Even though you broke up, you would be doing her a great disservice if you know about the condition and did not try to get her help.

Well she can be depressed My best friend who is bipolar flipped out on me for no apparent reason and i haven't spoke to her for a month... then she just called me this weekend and said that she was very depressed and didnt know why she flipped out on me. Bipolar is Manic depression where any person can flip out at any given time... So your ex juust probably was really depressed and manic. bi polar is really hard to understand. I know with my friend i would have to watch what i say to her and let her get her ways and let her win the fights

I would need a little more information to clearly "diagnose" her symptoms. I think that there is defiantly something wrong with her depression wise. Is she on any medication? If she changed it or forgot to take it that would be a reason for her to have called you. Why don't you call her and ask her. There are obviously unresolved issues between the two of you. Good Luck!

If she's been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, then it could have been either. That said, it's not really your concern if you two aren't together anymore and didn't stay friends. She might just have been feeling run-of-the-mill post-breakup crazy like anyone else. Don't leap to conclusions on the basis of her diagnosis.

Could be Bipolar or a serious case of dysthemia(milder form).
Some who suffer bipolar or dysthemia often seek out more than one sexual partner at the same time.
Regardless, she needs to get some medication if bipolar is indicated.

i also dated someone with Bi Polar for about 2 years and it was not easy. she cheated on me a few times because she was so depressed some days and couldnt be with me, then other days she would be madly in love with me. i helped her a great deal while almost losing my own mind. but she thanks me till this day and we have stayed the closest of friends and now she is living in another state, has a b/f, and is doing much better...
