I am 46 and Bipolar. I recently had a friend and her two children living with me because she couldn't afford to pay all of her bills. I thought that I was doing her a favor.
Well she hooked up with the guy across the street and moved in with him.
On Friday night she left and told him that she would be back in ten minutes well she didn't come home until Sunday morning which meant that she left her kids alone with her boyfriend for the whole weekend.
We were supposed to go somewhere Saturday morning so I went across the street because I couldn't get her on the phone. That is when her boyfriend told me that she didn't come home. So I dressed the kids and did there hair and stuff.
Well it got to be late Saturday night and she still wasn't home. Her boyfriend then called her sister and told her that she wasn't home. I had pictured her laying dead somewhere. Well Sunday morning she finally showed up. Her brother tackled her in front of my house and tried to take the ke

anyways here brother tried to take her keys from her she layed on the grass screaming. She was coming down from a three day crack high. If I had known that she never would have moved into my house.
Last night she comes over and wants my meds because she is a nervous wreck. I wouldn't give them to her, so whn I turned my back she stole the pack of cigarettes that I had just bought off of the kitchen table. Then I call my boyfriend today and he tells me that when her boyfriend was at his house when I called he left the phone on speaker phone. Everything that I had thought that I told him in confidence he sat the phone down so her boyfriend could here. I feel so betrayed.
I am Bipolar and I am now on a manic low. I have been crying all day long. My own boyfriend betrayed me and I think that, that is what hurts the most. I would go to a hospital inpatient but my daughter is having a baby and is due on the 22nd. I am taking my meds and I still feel like S***.

Keep taking your meds. What you have been through would make anyone be down. If you have a therapist call them and talk. You need someone that you can talk to that is not going to betray you. Say good bye to your friend and your boyfriend. You do not need that extra drama in your life. Dealing with a friendship like that is hard on any one. Stay strong and start thinking about the new baby that is going to come into your life..There is nothing like a grand baby to make the world a better place. God bless you.

Well, I'm 53 & although I am not bi-polar myself, I can relate. This stuff happens to people who are "rescuers", & you don't have to do anything other than just be nice to the wrong person to have a crappy day (or week, month, or year!). Next time, you'll know better & not help this type of person again. You can always call child welfare services & then it is out of your hands. Give your "friend" the telephone number & address of a womens shelter where she can get some help. The drugs have taken over her free will & logical thinking & the children will suffer if she does not get some help! You are one up on her because you already have been diagnosed & you KNOW what your problem is. She doesn't yet know what her problems are, so she's going to exploit anyone she can or that will allow her to. Just say NO & save yourself the next time she asks you for a favor. You need to stay away from this type of a person until you can deal with their special types of problems (which could be never!). Feel good about the fact that YOU made an effort to help & that is more than most people would have done. Don't feel guilty unless you want to keep being used by her. If you do, at least keep it to yourself! Drug addicts frequently use people with disabilites because of the monthly SSI checks & if you notice, when your money is gone, so are they! Keep that in mind next month. If you tell everyone that your check didn't arrive, then they won't ask for what they can't get!

My mother and my oldest daughter are both bi-polar, so I know a little. I know you need to distance yourself from your friend and her problems, she needs help and you can't be the one to do it.As for your boyfriend yes he betrayed you, is it as bad as all that or is it your mania re-acting? That new grandchild will need a well grandma, so if you feel the need to go to a hospital, then go,things will look better when YOU feel better, god bless and good luck.

It sounds like you have a lot of stress in your life, i am 40 with bipolar, i know my Dr.'s tell me to limit the stress in my life, you were not clear on what the question was, however from what you did write, I would say to distance yourself from the current situation if at all possible, ands of course, i am assuming you have a therapist, go talk to him/her, he/she can help. Good Luck!! Stay strong.

And? what are you talking about, you or your friend and what's the problem?
Call the police, they'll contact human welfare center for the kids, they're not your responsibility and, your going to get in trouble with someone elses kids. Stay away from it.
