Hi Moro R,

First things first, Welcome to Psych Central!

Secondly, I can only give you my perspective. I am pretty 'out' about having bipolar and my pretty regular struggles with the people in most of my circles. I try to keep it away from my work.

So I do get a lot of unsolicited advice, cures, and religious verses/invites to different theologies. I came here to get advice that I solicit and to make connections and friendships with people that live with what I have. I'm bipolar 1, by the way.

I never take offense when anyone offers me something. I try to always remember the spirit and the heart of the person who gave of themselves to me. I haven't always been able to do this. I'm not a very religious person, though I go to church on Sundays for my family. It used to make me very uncomfortable. I guess what I'm trying to say, is that it all depends on the recipient and where they are in their journey.

Give her time, friend. Everything can be healing for us, in stages. I certainly see your actions as great acts of kindness, and if she doesn't currently, she may soon or even a little later in her journey. Bipolar is a journey where we are obsessed with our memories and past, and we play them back often. At least I've found that I do. Both the good and the horrible memories. But the important thing is that I'm always discovering new insights in those memories.

All this is to say is never give up hope! And stick around, please. You are welcome here.
