Supporting a person with bipolar disorder
What you can say that helps:
- You are not alone in this. I'm here for you.
- I understand you have a real illness and that's what causes these thoughts and feelings.
- You may not believe it now, but the way you're feeling will change.
- I may not be able to understand exactly how you feel, but I care about you and want to help.
- You are important to me.
- Your life is important to me.
