Trouble with friend's mood swings...
Please keep this anon as I don't want the people involved to see it.
I recently went on a week long trip to France with school. I was sharing a room with a girl who I've known for a long time and been friends with but we're not really close friends. I know she has really extreme mood swings (whether she's actually bipolar or not I don't know) but I've only really seen her good side most of the time.
That week she was particularly bad with her moods and took most of it out on me for reasons unknown. I did try to talk to her about it in private but she responded with the silent treatment. She also hit me a few times. In the end I lost my temper and started complaining about her to another friend right infront of her. (I was trying to talk to her but she ignored that.) Of course that just made her worse.
Now I have no idea what to do when I see her again. Obviously bringing up that trip would be a bad idea but I can't really pretend nothing happened either. If I say nothing at all, that'll just be dragging it out further because there's no way in hell she'd do anything that might be construed as an apology. Besides, I really think something was seriously wrong making her actions not entirely her fault. Also, people do act differently when you see them 24-7.
Thoughts?

try and ignore her. she isn't even that much of a friend, therefore she isn't your problem.
if ignoring her is impossible, keep the convo short and sweet as if she was someone you met in the street, as not to trigger her mood swings

Ok I don't think I explained the relationship that well. I don't see her in school (she doesn't go there) which is why we're not really close friends but at the place where I know her from, she's one of my best friends and I've known her for a very long time - probably longer than I've known almost anyone else I'm still in contact with.
Ignoring her when I go there would be difficult and I don't want to do that anyway because I know if I do, the problems will end up being dragged out longer.
