My Friend is BiPolar I think, How can I help her?


Question Posted Monday April 18 2005, 1:15 pm

okay..this is going to be long, but i really need help. Ok, my (old) best friend is bipolar. She is really a hard-to-handle person. I dont know what to do cuz lately weve been getting into fights because im so sick of her bitchy-ness. I have no clue on what to do with her, shes like, starting stuff with her one other friend (cuz thats all she has) with me, so now were fighting too. This girl also walks around and shes all quiet and she thinks shes ugly and EVERYONE is out to get her-when really nobody knows her. If she were louder and had more friends-i think shed be happier. What should i do? PLEASE HELPP!!

Take her to church where she can get to know people, and hear God's word!

tell her how you feel..your not fixing the problem by sitting there and wondering what to do just tell her how you feel and if she gets mad over something as stupid as that then you shouldnt want her as a friend anyways..try to be nice about it though and be gentle about the sitatuon bipolar people are hard to deal with just be sensitive..xOx

I know it can be really hard and it can make you want to hit the person really hard, but you need to keep being friends with her because she might really need you if she thinks everyone hates her and stuff. I think you should try your best not to get into fights with her (even if it isn't your fault) just like try to be nice to her and everything...i think you should also introduce her to some of your friends and see if she gets along with any of them. Like, you could have a party, or take a whole bunch of friends to the mall or something and she would be able to meet new people. You probably want her to find some new friends as soon as you can, because more than likely, that is why she is acting this way...i think it will all be better as soon as she finds new friends....u can ask me stuff anytime....hope i helped!

I know you said that she's hard to handle, and you're sick of her being bitchy, but I think you need to just stick with her, because It's probably not easy for her.

If you want her to get more outgoing, when you're around her, just be in a happy, cheery mood and be very eccentric and outgoing, hopefully she'll realize what she's missing out on by being quiet and shy. You should introduce her to some of your friends, or encourage her to just start talking to people when you go out.

Good luck!

Introduce her to people she doesnt know. Take her to the mall or something and just let her meet new people. And you need to sit that girl down and just tell her how shes acting. If she gets mad at you o0 well because its wrong how shes treating people and how she is acting. x0

just simply introduce her to some of your friends that dont already know her (meaning not from your school) and hopefuly they will like her and get along with each other for the people that dont like her and dont know her too bad for them just let them be

I think it's time you need to sit her down and tell her exactly how she's actin'. If it gets worse, adn you know her parents(guardian)tell them how 'she thinks' everyone is out to get her and all. Its not right for her health to be thinking that way- its lack of (if not low self-esteem) self-esteem Meanwhile, you continue to be the good friend that you are. Hopefully, she'll change.
