Bipolar disorder

[Jacqueline Peacher]

I had dated a man who suffered from bipolar disorder and the situation that the man put me in was shear hell. Now I am staying in a house with a group of other women that had gone all right up until last September when there was a woman that moved in that suffered from the same disorder. The way this woman is operating is one for the record books considering that the woman has already put a knife to two of my other housemates.

Are you asking for advice or anything?  Because it sounds like you just want to talk smack about somebody who is mentally ill.  It kind of offends me that you're referring to her as "crazy".  Yeah it's true, mentally ill people do some pretty crazy things, but it seems like you're looking at her as a freak show rather than a human being who is suffering and has a lot of problems with self-control (and who should also not be underestimated and laughed at - you should use caution when dealing with her because she could actually be dangerous and then you won't be laughing!)

Also the tone about the 'Mexican' man and her having 6 kids seems pretty judgmental.  Why don't we ask questions or try to understand these things (and possibly find a solution to them) rather than judging them?

I would move out or get help so she moves out.

It goes without saying that I had to use caution when I was around here. I was taking things seriously when I did not want to deal with someone who would rather be judgmental of other people to the point of wanting someone dead (although she probably would not go to that extreme case.) But it would be better if she does get the help that she needs so that she would not act the way she does. I have met some people that have bipolar disorder that I would never have thought was bipolar. With the right treatment, she will lead a normal life to where I would not be in constant fear or concerned with my own life.
