lots of love -- watch her & alert her or your parents to when you are noticing any extreme or even mild up and downs
prevention, which means taking the meds is the best way for her -- so maybe ask her if she has taken them -- I hate it when people ask me, but I know they only do it because they care, so I get over it

First of all, you must have loads of patience towards her and with yourself. Then make sure someone takes her to the doctor and make sure she takes her medication regularly. A common problem is when a bi-polar takes medication and feels better, the person stops taking the medication. Guess what happens then??? You bet, the symptoms return full force.

My son is 18 and bi polar. It is a hard thing to live with because you need patience and understanding. You should remember to tell yourself that some of the things she does is part of her illness. Talk to your parents about it, get support.

I have another mental illness that is similar to Bi-polar...The best thing that people who are close to me have done is educated themselves about the illness so they have an idea what to expect.
