I have come to the conclusion that a certain person I know must be manically depressed--how I did not notice it before, is what makes me ashamed. Any anger or disgust with this person has now turned to pity and worry. Should I ignore this person's cruel actions due to their emotional distress and help them, or should I defend and/or seperate myself

yea, I have a friend with manic depression and sometimes i cant stand it. i know it's not her fault, but i cant help getting mad at her or getting frustrated with her. at these points, i have to just back off a little bit. i can't be of any help to her. but there are other times when she's having a bad day and i'll step in and be there for her. you have to listen to how you are feeling and then decide whether or not you can be emotionally stable for your friend. if you can't be, don't worry...
I know how you feel and i'm sorry!
