I, myself, was diagnosed with bipolar 1 disorder 2 1/2 years ago. It sounds to me as if maybe her meds were not working as well as they could have been which could have been why her conversation was all over the place & why she was so physical so fast. Those could be signs of mania. Or they could just be her regular personality. ANyway, as long as her medication controls her condition, there's no reason at all to worry or be afraid of dating someone who is bipolar. Bipolar people are not dangerous. Over 99% of the time, anyway. As long as she's taking care of herself, as she said she was, there should be nothing to worry about. Bipolar people are not scary monsters to be afraid of.

It's usually the manic state that does that, or a mixed state. As long as they're taking medication properly & it's working, there's no reason to "watch out" for bipolar people. Most are very harmless.
