My question might not have an answer - but here goes. Last July my niece got back in contact with me after 14 years of silence and informed me of her bipolar diagnosis. Before that separation we used to be very close and she lived with me for a while. My "problem" is how do I help. She was doing "fairly well" this last year and now she is sliding away again. I had wanted to invite her to live with me again so that I could help her implement your ideas, but this past month she has become more depressed and angry and there has been less communication. I am disabled (physically) and also have MPD; my roommate is physically disabled too. We want to help. Do you think we are in a position to help her (when she indicates she might want us to) or is this all too much for us to undertake. I hate to see that there could be a solution to her situation and not be able to be of help. thanks Bree Hi Julie,
