i have that problem all round... only, its not because im bipolar...

ive learned to see that its not so much me... but that they dont know how to help themselves any other way...

as obnoxious and irritating as it can be... all u can really do is tell them what u think is right, and let them decide for themselves... but dont break ur head over it... and if it affects u in any physically negative way, find ur way to shield urself from their failure, and help them in the aftermath in whatever way u can...

basically, show them a side that they can trust and depend on...

love to u all... <3
