As someone who is bipolar and had many “worst days”, this article emphasizes the wrong things. I’ve hurt plenty of people with my episodes but I’ve lost few friends. It is not the worst day that matters to most people but what you do after that worst day. I try to make things right. My friends know who I am at my heart. They know my episodes are beyond my control. As a result, most of them stick by me because I will take responsibility for the damage my actions and words have caused. I also plan in depth for episodes. My friends have my permission to intervene, even if I try to push them away or refuse to accept help. Most of these measures have never been used but they are there. My friends trust me because of this.
