hi..

As a friend... I mean a friend of all different kinds of people IRL... I just try to "go with the flow"...

I have a question....

One of my friends is bi-polar.... he goes in "spurts"... where he is friendly.... "in contact".... and then "wham"... he leaves me an e-mail... says he is going into a mixed state... and then I lose contact with him for a week.... and before that he is... ahhh... very, very irratable...

I worry.. worry... worry...

and then... "wham".. he is back... and life goes on...

sooo,,,,, my only question... is should I stop worrrying so much... and just let him come back... into friendship when he is in a good place.....

I mean... just before he cuts off contact... he indcates he is going to hurt himself.. and stuff like that...

sooo.. am not sure what to do...

try to force contact... leave him alone... send cheery e-mails..

just looking for some clues... on what I should be doing to be a good friend...

Thanks....
