I suffer from bipolar depression and very fast mood swings. When I'm out with friends or with family and I suddenly feel really depressed, is there any way to fight it or do I just have to ride it out? I wish I could fight it because I don't want to ruin everyone else's evening.

How do I help a friend who has bipolar depression? (Answers: 6) (Comments: 0)

A friend of mine has been going through some hard times and was recently diagnosed with bipolar depression. This means that some days he is active and able to do lots of things, but other days he doesn't have the will to get out of bed, much less do anything productive. Anyway, he recently moved back to the area and is now living kind of close to me (30 mins. driving). He doesn't have many other friends in the area, and his illness keeps him from getting out very much and meeting new people. So, in many ways I feel as though I am his only source of friendship now. Also, it's really difficult to stay in touch with him. When he is depressed, he won't answer e-mails or telephone calls, much less return messages. In some ways I feel like I can't do much because if I can't talk to him and hang out, how can I continue to be friends with him? But I also feel that, as a friend, I should stick with him through the hard times and do my best to help. What can I do to help my friend?
