Bipolar and question?!
Question:
Bipolar and question?
Bipolar....anyone with any nightmare stories about friends or family with bipolar who are going untreated - refuse treatment or help? Issues with being very needy, using people -- leaving one person to go hang with another and turning against them....any kind of stories? I've just recently had a 4 year friend relationship that is now over and this person is bipolar -- and boy I could write a book....anyone else? Yes I knew he was bipolar and we are adults.
I KNOW BIPOLAR IS HORRIBLE FOR THE PERSON SUFFERING FROM IT AND THEY HAVE MY BLESSING. I just want to know if anyone else experienced the same type of things I did with a best friend. I am NOT putting down anyone with the disorder -- it is serious. I was also hurt deeply because of it too. This person was also highly paranoid, thinks all the women want him (sexually) and yet says he didn't really feel good about himself....etc., etc. ASKED before but accidently had this under jokes/riddles as I was just in that section.
Answers:
Feel asking others for their horror stories about friends with bipolar is putting a stigma on bipolar people. Know they can be very difficult to deal with and no two are the same. but people without bipolar can and are the same as far as being untrue in friendships. Perhaps you were looking for something they couldn't offer or they were manic or hypomanic at the time. Sorry, just find the wording of your question offensive but don't think you meant harm to many people, just the one who offended you.
