Hey, I recently gave someone some print out verses that I though might help with their bipolar "lows".
Have I inadvertently destroyed my relationship with this person?
One day they were talking to me openly about their bipolar and I thought how hard that might be.
The next day I was in the church and someone asked if I wanted some healing verses "for yourself or someone you know". I straight away though of how difficult bipolar might be.
Today, because I'm such an idiot, I told her how I got the verses, she joked that I thought of her as being messed up. And later said it was thoughtful after I told her that it might in some way help a religious person.
AFTERWARDS, I read a blog post saying that you shouldn't support a bipolar person by looking for treatments for them... Whoops.
Now I'm worried that it might have come off as a kind of personal condemnation, like, viewing her as a messed up person or something.
Have I done a stupid?
How would a bipolar person interpret such a thing? Negatively?
Have I inadvertently destroyed my relationship with this person?
