I met this girl in grad school. We started getting along and we had to do a few assignments together. We became friends, she got to know my friends and I got to know hers. We started going out together with other friends. So far, so good.
The problem I think she's getting a little too interested in me for a friend. She texts me in the morning asking if I'm okaym she texts me before going to bed to say goodnight, she texts me during the day if she saw or did something funny. Then she invited me to go out just the two of us together. I accepted because I also go out with other female friends and it means nothing. She tries to get too close to me when we go out together.
I suffer from OCD and bipolar disorder. The worst crisis are triggered by stress. That way I'm not advised to have any intimate relationships.
If she's truly into me, I feel like I'm giving her expectations that won't come true.
Is there a way to put a stop to this without ruining the friendship?
You were advised wrongly. The advice you were given will simply result in your pleading stress as the cause of your isolating yourself and alienating others. Take your meds; get professional guidance about how to reduce your stress on your own; and stop waiting for the hammer to fall. Both conditions run in my near family.

I've tried meds but I can't afford sleeping 13 hours a day and the rest of time acting like I've had a stroke. My level of stress has to be carefully managed.
What's the difference between you being together with her as a friend, and you being together with her as a friend and as a lover? You can't tolerate caring deeply about others because you're bipolar? Never heard of that.
You could just tell her the truth instead of being embarrassed and thinking of some way to fudge it. You can't lose with the truth.
