Question:
***BEST ANSWER GUARANTEED*** what do you do if someone is bipolar...but they don't know it?
it's my ex. i'm positive of it. classic behaviour, plus his mom has it. others agree when they hear his behaviour.
we finally ended it because of his ups and downs, i'm only now realising how much of his behaviour is consistent with the disease. i was really angry at how i was treated, as well as a bit worried about potential unpredictable behaviour. now i'm not angry anymore. how can i be?
but he's angry at ME. he's being totally unreasonable, but what else can you expect? anyway i'm not in a position to sit him down and tell him he needs help, not with him mad at me like this. i mean...what do you do in this situation? get a friend to say something to him or watch him? i could tell his dad but i don't know him that well and my ex hasn't done anything that severe yet. or do i just...let him go on like this?
Answers:
until he really wants to get help there is not much you can do, I know this from experience, I am bipolar and it took a long time to realize I had a problem and needed help. If you have been like that for most your life and he knows no different its very hard to see that things are not right or normal. once he has calmed down then maybe you could ask him about it and just point out your worried for him. His mum should know that he is being like this as she is bipolar and knows the signs all to well. Bipolar is genetic so there is a good chance he has bipolar but it could also be some learned behavior from his mother.
good luck
