Had a bi-polar roommate for 6 years.<BR/><BR/>Totally agree with Damien... until you get the meds right, it's just about survival (for everyone).<BR/><BR/>And don't spend too much time trying to understand where he's coming from. You can't. You just have to trust that Jesus does, and will show you how to roll with it.<BR/><BR/>I pray a river of Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12979627849688965995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7457030.post-1129128796685651832005-10-12T10:53:00.000-04:002005-10-12T10:53:00.000-04:00I have several friends who are bi-polar (what does...I have several friends who are bi-polar (what does this say about me, you may be wondering?) as is my younger brother. During my thirty years in the monastery, I saw several guys go through psychotic breaks, one of whom I wound up taking to the emergency room in the middle of the night after a pseudo-overdose.

I guess the one way I can help him is not to get in his "messiness" and try to fix him.<BR/><BR/>Thanks!New Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07328837865727756374noreply@blogger.com
