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. | ||

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! | ||

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. | ||

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

Edit: just a thought, but she might benefit from watching it too? | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||
