I am, it's hard living with it, but it's better than the alternatives. ;-)

to the op- it is very good of you to be thinking of your friend. i have depression, and i see a dr. for it and am on meds that make, literally, a world of difference. my husband does not like that i am on meds, he thinks i am fine without them- i am not. i wish he could be more understanding like you are. your friend is fortunate to have you!

The funeral was yesterday and was the hardest thing that I have ever had to sit through. He had 6 brothers and sisters and all of them spoke, as did his parents and they were the most moving speeches I have ever heard. So while I know how difficult it is to deal with someone who has this disease I also know how loving and kind hearted he was. I couldn't imagine not having him in my life and while there would be months on end that he wouldn't speak to me (or anyone else) once he came back to us he would again show what an amazing person he was. I agree with boxermom learn as much as you can about it so that you will have a better understanding of what this person is going through.

That is so sad...

We had a nephew that committed suicide a couple of years ago. He had lots of different problems. Not sure that he was bi-polar.
