So mania can cause unusual decisions. Usually bizarre.
Who do you need to get along with that's bipolar ?
There are support groups thru NAMI DBSA for family members.

Thanks-
Just not being able to sleep for one day is enough to drive me nuts! My dad and my sister are both bipolar and unmedicated. My dad is much worse than my sister in some ways as he is also a control freak and a narcissicst.
Anyways, I have very little contact with either of them these days since they're both toxic, especially my dad. My mom has other issues. I just know one person who I'm getting to know who admitted to being bipolar w/o me asking them. So that's why I'd like to know more about what it's like and what to expect.
Sometimes this person emails me a lot, and sometimes I don't hear from them for awhile. Is that a normal thing for a bipolar person to do? This person has been busier than usual lately, so maybe I'm just worrying to much. I tend to worry a lot. I have anxiety issues.
