To become close with this kinda person your going to need a lot of patience and allow the girl to make mistakes even when you know she is going to hit a wall. She might cry to you after if your close but generally, lots of patience and understanding is needed for people who are not exactly mentally stable.

is she bipolar I or II and is she on medication? i have a good friend who is also bipolar and he is responding well to the medication, although tbh i think it does dampen his creative/expressive mind a bit, but he lives a more healthy lifestyle when he is on the meds.

and although it is difficult to deal with, people who suffer from any sort of disorder/sickness still appreciate it a lot when you stick it through the tough times with them.

from the way it sounds, it seems like you're one of the few people who look out for her. no matter what you ultimately decide, you need to stick around her and guide her. the few bipolar people i know often lack the capacity to take care of themselves properly; they often forget their medication, overspend their limited funds, don't take care of their physical health etc. she needs someone like you to support her and help her out.

perhaps you could try explaining the situation to her. sit her down and have a serious discussion with her about her condition and explain to her your frustration. from the way you described her, she seems like someone who'd understand.

hope that helps. good luck!

I've said it a million times before, it's harder to be that person than it is to be friends with that person.

You do what you want. If you don't want to deal with her, don't. But whatever hardship you endure, it will be nothing compared to what people of this condition feel.

This is horrible advice, don't confront her. I have a friend that is bipolar(99% sure, but he's never told me personally) as well.

You don't want to get in their face about it if you know they don't want to talk about it or anything. My friend has basically attempted to commit suicide twice because one of our mutual friends got in a bit of an argument and things didn't go his way. You just have to figure out what triggers their sudden mood changes and try to avoid it. My friend gets really upset when the both of us go to a party when one of our friends who he used to date is there because he gets jealous and shit like that and shit hits the fan. You just have to be overly supportive sometimes, but either way Chef is right about dealing with them or not. You have to choose between a) dealing with them, and getting used to putting more than average effort into a friendship, or b) not choose to deal with them. Be careful if you choose b though, I have a feeling horrible things would happen if I stopped dealing with my friend, we are basically best friends as it is right now.

Well good for you if you can stick it out and support your friend. I just can't do it. Depressed people are so draining and they just suck the life out of everything around them.

well I kinda agree with raithed, it could be good to point out to her certain types of behavior she illustrates if she seems unaware. she may not be able to control how she feels but she can control what she does, even if it is hard.

but obviously she would need to trust you and it would require a certain amount of finesse.

You must not know much about Bi-polar disorder. Confronting them, even on a high still can be used by remembered by them on a low which can lead to some pretty horrific actions.

i didnt mean confront her like telling her to stop, more like telling her what shes doing and guiding her not to do that. yes she will keep on doing it since shes bipolar, she probably cant make up her mind half the time on what shes going to do etc, so thats what i meant by confronting.

Also, try and find the BBC documentary about Steven Fry and Bipolar disorder and watch that, I felt it gave me quite an insight into every day living.

What has being an attention whore got to do with bipolar lol, it's a mood disorder, not a personality disorder. I don't understand what kind of person would post shit about their friends on the internet and what the whole point of this post is, you're just being an ass.

Plain and simple...if you want you and her to remain friends, you're going to have to have a LOT of patience. It's as simple as that. Stick around whatever happens.

Raithed, I don't think you understand what bipolar disorder is as a disorder...that means a lot of it is simply beyond her control.

My mom was finally diagnosed with BP disorder about two years ago and I have been living with it for more then 23 years. I wouldn't confront her(your friend) about anything she has done in the passed other then jokinly bringing it up. If you confront her in the wrong way, she could easily flip out on you about asking her shit that you have no reason to be asking. Although your her friend and care about her, the only safe way is to learn what gets under her skin and what doesn't. Once you learn how to do this then you can pretty much talk to her about her disorder. Just make sure you stay clear when the bipolar rage starts to break out.
