I myself do not have bipolar but a dear friend of mine does and they're really struggling currently. Medication is not always enough for him to avoid the worst. Can there be a peaceful future for him? What was a turning point for you to find stability? Is it possible at all? What things can a friend do to help preventatively? I've noticed that although he thinks he's aware when he's starting to get hypomanic or manic, he isn't always aware of it. What can I do to support him?
