This month on my podcast I discuss the experience of having friends who have bipolar disorder with my friend Shadna. The topic of suicidal ideation is covered in this podcast.

Thanks guys !!
This is a difficult topic for me to comment on but I’ll give it a whirl . I have found in my life experiences friends have come and gone on a regular basis due to my highs and lows and moodiness And I get it . My bipolar friends are the ones that have stuck around but I didn’t start meeting bipolar friends until I joined OBAD 20 years ago. And it has been a GOD SEND. To the friends of bipolar people who do not have bipolar ….. HATS OFF TO YA
Thank you for your comments Annette. I hadn’t thought about how many friends you lose when you have bipolar disorder because of severe episodes. I really do value my friends including the ones who have bipolar disorder.
