My friend has bipolar, like i do. He cannot fuction in life. He is in an abusive relationship and she keeps stealing from him and when she is mad, she trashes his car. He is at the breaking point. He has never been good with money which I can understand. He has nowhere to live accpet with his gilrfriend and we really dont want him to stay there but he has nowhere else to go.
I am borrowing him $20.00 here and there when I am down to my last 20. I have advised him to apply for disablity and get assistants from the state. He agrees but when he starts feeling better he does not follow through. I am the same way and understand where he is coming from but I too need to take care of myself. He was admitted to the hospital via the state and released a couple days ago. He needs to start taking medication and life in a safe environments, to create more stabilty in his life.
I am out of ideas and could use anytype of input from anyone.
Thanks for anytype of advise/ help

Hour by hour and week by week,
I deal with myself and I never feel complete.

I want to be normal; I want to be sane,
No matter what I do, I always feel the pain.

It’s all in your head”
I wish I could do it; I would rather go to bed.

Sometimes I am high and sometimes I am low,
I wish they could see me, so I won’t be alone.
