I've been with my girlfriend a few months, and it recently came out that she has Bipolar disorder.
It hasn't put me off her, and I still really wanna stay with her. She seems to be happy most of the time, but takes medication occasionally at night to "cheer her up". She says she's happy.
She's started receiving things from a "stalker" including Facebook messages and notes. She spends a lot of time in 1 place, and a note was left there saying that someone was watching her. She then got a message asking how one of her lessons was (that she was in) at college, and she's had a number of messages on Facebook describing things that she's actually done throughout the day.
Today I was talking to her about how well things were going with my work etc, then, after a week of not hearing anything, she gets a message.
I too have also received these messages from this apparent stalker, but never when I've been with my girlfriend. It talks of doing sick, sexual things to her, but when it's written it looks more like a horror film story rather than someones actual intentions if that makes sense? The things these messages describe ARE things that she's doing, in and around her home (from every angle), so there's only two possibilities:
A) Either Spiderman or someone very clever who's watched her house or is very accurately guessing what she's doing is watching her or;
B) The messages are coming from her, under an alias, in order to get some sort of attention?
The Police aren't really interested, and her mum only seems to be half bothered. I don't know if this is because she knows something I don't? I'm not close to her family, so don't know if approaching her mum with my theory that it might be her is the best thing to do.
Could this sort of behaviour be linked to Bipolar or any similar disorder? Is there anyone with any advice with what I can do? It's so hard to approach her about it. She's quite private about her disorder, and doesn't like the fact that I know. I think she sees it as some kind of weakness, when she's otherwise quite strong. I wanna help her in any way I can, whether this stalker is a real person or if it's her; I just wanna know how I can take steps towards helping her.
