| wa allaikum salaam I know some people who are bi-polar and it is hard to deal with the mood swings. I find one minute I can sympathic and at other times my patience runs low. How good of a friend are you? Close or casual? Long time friends or short time? If close and for a while I would suggest going to the person and explaining your concerns for them and that you are worried. Suggest they see their doctor. If it is true bi-polar they need to be on meds and get counseling, if anything is to get better. Lots of patience, pray and forgiveness is needed if you are a true friend. Taking breaks from the friendship so you have a sense of normal feeling time may be needed for you. Also realize if they are bi-polar it is a medical condition just like heart or other problems and their actions are not intentional. Most don't even realize how they are. I pray Allah will give you the strength and wisdom you'll need to deal with this brother or sister. |
