I feel envy towards my brother, but that is because he does not have depression or bipolar. I think, regarding your brother, it's a natural emotion, but one you will have to "get over." I am not suggesting it will be easy or that you did something wrong in feeling the way you do, but I think it's time to use your treatment, i.e. therapist, to work past these feelings. I think you could be a great support to your brother if you can, and, at some point, he will probably return the favour and support you.

It is said an Eastern monarch once charged his wise men to invent him a sentence, to be ever in view, and which should be true and appropriate in all times and situations. They presented him the words: "And this, too, shall pass away." How much it expresses! How chastening in the hour of pride! How consoling in the depths of affliction!
