Kay,
That really stinks. 'Sorry that you have to deal with that from him.
Years ago here and on another bipolar board people with bipolar would argue
when someone with bipolar was convicted of a crime or did something similar.
. . .So even within the bipolar community, there was confusion about how responsible one is during an episode.
It is weird. It is like an updated version of witch trials.
I keep a lot to myself at home.
He helps with the pill minder but I do not teach him the names of the drugs
and it is better that way. He checks that every day is the same as the others
by color, shape, number. . . .
More details than that confuse him . . .. has too much anxiety of his own anyway.
