I oddly enough have few people that are really close to me that suffer from bioploar and a friends who's wife does. It takes a STRONG soul to live with it. Like mentally if you can handle bi polar and haven't tried to take your own life, you can pretty much deal with anything.
If you not on meds I suggest getting something. But don't just take any BS they give to you, my boy had to go through all kinda meds that also made him go through all kinda mood swings before he found the one that worked best for him. He took those for a while and now he just see's a therapist when it gets really really bad.
He told me and another friend if it wasn't for use just being there he might have ended his life years ago when he was at his lowest point.
