My friend really snapped at me today. I had to practically drag them home yesterday and they are really on a roller coaster. As I have a different type of bipolar it is like watching a trainwreck happen. I know what it is like to be a passenger but not the driver of a manic train.
Today they were clearly distressed. But I was just too tired to play clean up, cover up, protect. They are soooo frustrated by others controlling their life- but I am never sure what to say to them- when to implement tough love and when to listen.
Especially at times like this going into a weekend with minimum support and being triggered for several reasons. My usual support could only give me 10 minutes and I am too tired most of the time to do much.
