Meh, I do not really like NAMI (brought to you by big Pharma), because they overplay the helplessness of one with a disorder...). And people on Icarus claim that is became place for healthy people to *****, whine and moan about their bipolar relatives.

I can see her point though... not sure it applies to you, but many bipolars and people with other issues tend to practice this (once somebody here complained about having no friends and first reply was about adjusting meds. SOmebody once recommended me anti-anxieties for "I have essay to write, in political philosophy, nobody gave us instructions yet and out of four classes we were supposed to have we had just the introductory one, so I have no clue what to do... in addition I have writer's block". Hell, I even heard war in Libya was caused by Gaddafi going off meds...).

I would probably say something simmilar, if I felt my partner is not dealing with life by living it... I never took Nice 101 on school.
