Ok bipolar people and bipolar experience (again)?

Question:

please. You may get sick of th bipolar questions but I need to know. If you get emails from your best friend (bipolar) and they are sad (and you KNOW they are in their down state)....you respond with support and caring and then you get emails that say "leave me alone - I just want to be left alone - what's wrong with that" and that they are going to block everyone from email and toss their phone, is there a chance they may come around to be my friend again? I got angry and sent and email saying I was hurt-that he shouldn't be writing me asking for my help and then turning on me and that I was tired of being hurt all the time but that I'll leave him alone. It happens every so often because of the moods. Do you think when he comes around to "normal" that he'll feel bad and return as my friend? I try SOOO hard to understand him. Don't say meds - he won't take them or see doctor. I may have hurt him more by getting angry with him-haven't heard from him since then. Any advice or am I

Answers:
When people are in a down swing (depressed) and they are pushing people they care about away, this could spell trouble. I would ask him. 1.) If he thinking of hurting himself.or has he verbalized to you that he is. If so than ask him what is his plan. If he has one and is not medicated, this could be his and the only way he knows as his coping skill. 2.) So look up in your area a Crisis Service for mental health or call 911.
Being Bi Polar and having serve mood swings can hurt the people they care for the most. Please understand it is his mental illness lashing out, Not the true person you care about. How did he get this diagnosis and if he uses alcohol or drugs this really needs to be addressed.
In all of the hurt you are feeling, it may help for your to take a step back and take care of yourself and feelings.Go to l www.nimh.com and read about the illness.

That is part of the process. Being married to a bi polar I can sympathize with you. You have to be supportive. They suffer from depression, They can also be very sucidal. He may need meds. Its hard but you just have to step back and not push him to much. He will be like this one day and the next be a different person
