let a professional deal with that friend......maybe they need meds too
|
|
|
|
they should seek professional help, period.
|
|
|
|
ask a professional to see the person and let them determine it.
|
|
|
|
maybe they just need a change of atmoshpere for an extended period, away from all their stress. somewhere light.

Do not try to figure this out on your own. Been there , done that have the bruises to prove it. Let a professional deal with it.

just follow the signs from the research that you have done, extreme highs and lows, probably cant function very well in society or in every day life, but as everyone has stated, and you know, try to convince them to seek professional help, its the only way to discover and deal. best of luck to both of you

Borderline Personality Disorder. A friend's mom had it. When she told me, and started explaining it, she was also describing herself. She just didn't see it in herself. And that's what it was like being friends with her. Still, I wouldn't trade it from someone easier. She was a great friend. |

Professional help & medication! Quickly. I was married to a bi-polar and my boss is a bi-polar. Neither on meds. If you care about your friendship, get them help. Also, if this relationship is a close one, they have meetings where people go to get help on how to deal with loved ones that are bi-polar.
Good luck. |

yeah bipolar people have the tendency to go off the bat for no reason, if something goes wrong, the only way they can dealwith it, is to act out...scream, call names, throw things, blame, just make themselves unbearable to realize they have a problem
