My best friend, N, has bipolar disorder & recently checked herself into hospital bc she was suicidal. Unfortunately, she checked herself out after a week. Her behaviour & moods are very erratic right now & we are all concerned about suicide and self harm. She has NO routine (even in taking her medication) and she's not caring for herself in terms of food, cleanliness, keeping appointments or socialising. She's quite unwell.
Her parents cannot provide much support besides financial. She has just broken up with her boyfriend of 5 years & he is also very concerned about her state.
We were thinking that perhaps I could move in with her to try to get her into a routine & improve self-care. We also want to work on accountability & responsibility.
Do you think that me living with her could be a good and positive action or do you think there are too many negatives? Will she become too dependent on me?
