Q: Bi polar and bulimic pregnant

I have been dating this girl for 4 or 5 months now, everything was great but the last month or so her attitude started to go downhill, i know she was on zohloft but recently wasnt taking it often. 3 weeks ago she tells me she is pregnant, wich was a surprise, but i was ok with that ion every way. But then last week happned, i spent the nite at her house, and i noticed she ate everything in site for like 2 hours, then i went to bed and 20 mins later she came and shut the door to the bedroom then went to the bathroom and shut and locked the door wich she has never done. she then ran the faucet water for 15 mins at least, the i heard the toilet flush mult. times and she was talking to her self very strangly. i confronted her and she denied it, so the next day i called her mom and she told me she was anorexic 5 years ago to the point she almost died. When she found out i called her mom she absolutly flipped, she said she didnt want to be in a relationship with me but we can still move in and sleep in sep bedrooms, i said i couldnt do that, so the next day she tells me she is moving in with her ex husband and starting over and he will be there for the baby, this girl is 25 years old, and i know the baby is mine, just last week she asked me to propose to her soon. i have been ignoring her and told her to leave me alone cause she is very mean. Please help i need advice, what do i think and to do??
thanks

Hum....
Rolo your relationship with this lady does not sound too good at all.

I certainly would not be a hurry to marry her if I were you. That is if she does not change her mind again. I also notice that you do not mention that you love her.

First things first, is she really pregant?

The trouble is you have a vested interest in your growing child, if she is pregnant. Being Bulimic will not help the child, if she is partiulary bad, she is not only putting her life at risk but that of the baby. But I guess you would already know this.

Babies in the womb will take all they need from their mother. The problem being will the mother have sufficent nuitarments(sp) for the growing child? The anwser to that one I do not know.

You may like to contact her family again let them know your concerns. And maybe between you and her family you might be able to get her to a doctor, with the hope of her being treated.

Has she been professionally diagnosed with Bipolar? Is she or was she taking medication for it?

If not I would think that any mental diagnosis of her at this time re Bipolar, might be confused with the current symptoms of her bulimia.

She really needs to be seen by a doctor. The sooner the better. I hope that you and/or her family can get her to one.

Good Luck,

JennyRobin
