I am so blessed with supportive, loving friends.... yet, I keep screwing things up with the drama that comes with my messed-up brain. Tonight, I ruined a perfectly lovely walk to the store by bringing up issues I knew would hurt my roommate. Yet, I couldn't manage to keep my mouth shut. I'm on the brink of just removing myself from any and all relationships in order to stop the endless cycle of incidents like these, but is there any magical secret to sheltering your loved ones from the evils of bipolar disorder?
