I asked a question about my bipolar cousin??

Question:

I got a lot of advice on whether or not to try and talk to my cousin/old friend that has bipolar (we haven't seen each other in awhile before a few wks ago). I saw her today, and she acted like she didnt even want to look at me or speak to me, although she had no choice b/c I spoke with her. Should I still try and make an effort to talk with her? Or should I just leave her alone and stick with Hi and Bye? I'm trying to give her the benefit of the doubt and say it's her Bipolar that's making her act this way, but I think she's really just holding a grudge for some reason.

Answers:
Well it is your cousin so you shold continue to try cause well its family. Try and talk it out with her see if she is holding a grudge cause you wont know if you dont ask! If she is your cousin/old friend you dont want to lose that relationship. Make the effort again. Talk to her even if she doesn't seem to want to talk to you cause she really might.

what is biplor

being bipolar isn't a choice, neither are the actions of someone who has it. back off and let them come to you when they are ready to talk. Someone who is bipolar doesn't always know what they are doing, so just be supportive and wait. I'm glad I went to page 7 and found this question. I was looking for a question of mine that disappeared into cyperspace.

If you hadn't seen your cousin since she was diagnosed I'm guessing she feels uncomfortable. She knows that surely you've heard about her illness and isn't sure how you're going to accept it. She's probably afraid you're going to be looking at her differently and just doesn't know how to act.

I'm saying this because I'm bipolar and haven't seen hardly any of my cousins since- and we used to be very close. I'm still me. But I don't know if they'll realize that. My illness isn't me, just a part of me- and to some extent was always with me just not diagnosed (a lot of my symptoms are more ADHD which I always had just not diagnosed..).

Or- you may have caught her on a bad day. If I were you, I'd be friendly but not pushy. Treat her like she's the old cousin you remember from growing up together, as that's still probably who she is. Of course, there are different types of bipolar and I don't know how stable she is. I'm not any different really, just was kind of bad for a few years off and on, till I got to know how to take care of myself.
