What is the line between being understanding and being pushed over?

[Xenon21]

Girl has depression. She has massive public breakdowns on social media. I am kind of seeing her. The thing I don't like right now is that she'll be hot one day and messaging you throughout the day and other days just ignore your messages. Then when she messages again, you feel like you have to respond to her cause she is going through a hard time.

As she is suffering from serious mental health issues, part of me is like it's okay just be understanding. However, she'll be online for hours and not reply to me. Where do I draw that line? I know she has one beta orbiter (she blocked recently and then unblocked for reasons I don't know why) so no idea if she prefers speaking to him over me?

Anyone have any ideas?

This is the life of depression associated with bipolar... Do you know if she is on psych meds and what they are?

[Guy13]

She is "manic" when there are lot of repetitive behaviors and quick responses. This stage is nicer than the other but it is noticeably not normal. When she crashes it can often be debilitating. Lights off, quiet, crying, self-injurious. The stuff like blocking/unblocking is random and not the sort of thing where you can go"she's manic now" or "she's obviously depressed" There is a pretty large space that I call "mid-range.- She's either on her way up or heading down. There short period of time where the peak of cycles are reached... the really good days and the really bad days.
