Anyone else have days where they don't want to be alone, but the last thing they want to do is drag any of their friends/loved ones through bipolar-induced drama?

I feel so emotional high-strung, but I'm so tired of being "the friend who always has issues".

Where's the middle ground? Where is a solution that works?

I'm pretty sure that even my dog is tired of me..... and I don't blame her.

My wife drags me through her "bipolar-induced drama" on days like that, but I do not mind if I can be of help to her. Being family of someone who has BPD is hard, but not as hard as being the person who has it. I bet they are more understanding than you think and love you enough to deal with it. If you cannot count on family and friends, who can you count on?

P.S. I think you could be a mass-murdering, insider-trading, spouse-beating devil worshiper and the dog will still love you as long as you have food!
Thanks for this!

Today I didn't leave the house till it was dark, I just didn't want to be seen or to bother with anyone. My son was visiting friends, so I climbed back into bed and watched old episodes of Quantum Leap on the lap top. It's like my whole brain was switched off, and the only way to feel safe was to escape to lala land.

My best friend feels so awkward when i'm down and cant wait to get away from me. I feel too guilty to put any of them through it, so i just withdraw, i think its best for all of us.
