Biploar is very hard to deal with from a loved one. You have to research it and really understand it. No one chooses to be bipolar.. it is something completely out of their control. You have to be understanding of the disease and try to avoid anything that will trigger an episode. However, bipolar can be kept under control when you are on the right medications.

Answer 5

Good luck, Richard. I have the same problem and it's like walking on eggs trying to talk to someone with this disorder. I'll say this to you: They are sick, you didn't cause it, don't argue with them and don't expect them to change. This is tough. I have 4 friends in the same boat with kids like this and it's very difficult. Educate yourself on the disorder and keep yourself protected from mental/verbal abuse. Godloveya.

Answer 6

I sympathize. It's a terrible disease. My cousin had it and I found it very hard to love her. I had to keep my mind focused on the disease, and separate her as a person from her disease. The disease is what we hate, which upsets and disturbs us. Not the person. Just like we are upset with cancer in a loved one. We aren't upset with the person who has cancer, we are upset they are beset by the disease. A mental illness is the same. Focus on this, separate the disease from your loved one. It's hard sometimes because of the way the disease affects them. But if you can focus on this aspect of it, it helps.
