I do not how to respond at all. I am lost here.  |
It sounds like he doesn't want to listen. He just wants to believe his own assumptions, but he can't even back them up with facts. That's the epitome of ignorance.
If you really want, you could continue to ask him why he believes those things, but you'll probably be wasting your breath. He'll probably give you similar answers, and I don't think you'll ever be satisfied.
I'm sorry he's been acting this way, though. I'm not sure if there's any way to make him change his mind overnight. He doesn't have a mental illness like BP which is uncontrollable, so he doesn't know what it's like. He also doesn't know how well mental illnesses like BP can be controlled with medication and therapy.
