Liking manic
I do not think my friend is ready for help. She told me she always stops taking the bi-polar medication because she likes the bi-polar. She likes all the energy and says it makes her stay thin because she does not eat and just likes it when she is manic. Do you guys like it?
She also says she likes the lifestyle of being a criminal and alcoholic /drug addict. I guess if that is the case she is just going to keep it up until they lock her up for good or she kills herself and possibly others with her drunk driving.
I guess she is not leaving her parents or anyone who cares about her any choice but to turn their backs on her. At least until she wants to change.
How sad. I was hoping if she could see what being stable is like for awhile she would see that it is a much better option.
If she could only see herself through others eyes when she is manic, she would not think it was cool.
