Myrrha answered Tuesday February 17 2009, 1:57 pm: Bi-polar is a difficult thing to deal with, mostly because it is caused by brain chemical imbalances that are out of the person's control. Medication helps, but it's not a cure. The best way I can think of, is to know what triggers his mood switches. If he is having a great day, avoid anything that may trigger him as much as possible. If you guys do start fighting, you need to remove yourself from the situation and let yourselves cool down. Nobody is in their right minds when they are fighting, it is best to remove yourself and reflect on why you are fighting in the first place, then you can diffuse the situation.
