Just curious here, would you be friends with a person who is bipolar or would you avoid?

What if you had no idea and they seemed to have it together from head to toe until, you talk to them. Their very handsome or beautiful and your hooked! Their thoughts are scrambled, Their a social mess and now what do you do, ease away lightly, abruptly tell them you can't be their friend or what? Im not treating people badly, just not me, just asking for your opinions.

    Bipolar is a mental disease, and a person dealing with it while be struggling with it. If you are friends with them your best bet would be to encourage them to talk to someone about it. They may not actually be bi-polar and may just have depression or anxiety. All of these can be treated with counseling and in some cases medication. Getting it right can be a challenge, however that awesome person you know will be there 100% of the time. And would you really want to be the friend that walked away? Or the friend that was there to help them through probably one of the hardest struggles they will deal with?
