I love my brother and support him anyway I can. I also help him out financially when he's off work sick. He says that he gets panic attacks at the thought of leaving his flat for work. He seems to do 1/2 weeks work. Then goes off sick for 6 months +.
When's he's ill, he has no money and uses food banks. That mainly when I help pay his bills and give him food. 

Between myself and my parents we have given him probably around £20k to £30k. 

The other day I called and he was out in town drinking with friends. Pretty sure he was high too.

So from anyone here who has bipolar and experiences panic attacks, can you explain/inform me the what the  triggers ect?

I don't understand how he can be OK getting wasted in a busy city center but not be OK working n a less busy store. 

My parents and I love him dearly and are just happy he is still here with us. Advice Is appreciated 🙏
