It’s difficult to live with someone who has bipolar. They can prevent you from your normal life routine. You have to care for them and monitor them at all time. It can be costly to care for a bipolar patient. You have to pay for medical bills if they’re in the hospital or other bills if they get into trouble. Bipolar patients can run off and do things that are destructive to their safety. It’s a dread to care for one but you can’t get away from that responsibility. I have live with a sibling for about five years and it’s a major obstacle in my life.
He started having bipolar after High School but he was normal before High School. I wonder what caused the onset. He had a lot of friends that was on drugs and I wonder if that caused him to become a bipolar. I regretted that he ever hang out with these other kids. If he never did what they did, he would still be a normal person. He can’t care for himself anymore and he can’t work even. He’s not able to communicate to people and he can’t go out into the world and get a job. He lost his driver license and he can’t drive anymore. He was in and out of the hospital numerous time. He owes many hospital bills and his credit is very poor. He stays at home and doesn’t do anything beside playing video games and watching TV. He’s noisy and he bothers you with his temper. It’s a big responsibility for a family to live with a bipolar patient. There’s not much that we can do since he’s a member of our family.
It’s heart breaking but we have no choice. He was running into a lot of trouble on the street for the last four years but he’s calmer now. He doesn’t run away from home or get into trouble with the law anymore. Four years ago, he used to take off and drive wildly on the road. It was destructive behavior. He was going to California to visit one of his female friend. The one that was a bad influence. We wish he would forget about his friends but I can still see it on his face that he thinks about them once in a blue moon. They did too much to destroy his life. We wish it wasn’t that way. He is now our responsibility and we can’t do a thing without having to take care of him. There’re certain things in life that is nothing more than a big obstacle and this is how it’s like living with a bipolar patient.
