My Brother Has Bipolar Disorder Posted: 07-18-07 11:57am
Hello
I am new here and I am just looking for
some advice really.
My brother was diagnosed with Bipolar
Disorder earlier this year and I don't
think I am doing much (if anything) to
help.
We are close but he now lives over 80
miles away from me and I feel helpless.
I am scared that I could have contributed
or even caused his illness in our
childhood. I can't really ask him anything
about the illness and we avoid the subject
when we meet.
I am just always so worried. His
girlfriend has recently left him and so he
is moving back to our parents. I just want
him to be happy and don't know how to make
it happen.
To make things worse, it is his birthday
soon and I am terrified I will buy him the
wrong thing.
I appreciate any response to this post.
