I don't really understand Bipolar, by I'm really trying.. My brother is Bipolar and is in the hospital right now since I am have POA he is now blaming me for being there. I am so scared that this episode is permanent, he hasn't had any bad episodes since being on meds 4 years ago and this is the 1st time I have had to make him stay in the hospital and now I am the bad guy, so scared this will last forever, he has a job, a house and a good life waiting for him and not sure how long this will last scared for him and me.. Please help me understand.
Thanks Missy

I'm sure I don't have to tell you this, but it's not his fault or yours. It is painful to support someone through something like this(speaking only through expierience of putting everyone through so much pain for loving me) ...so unpredictable and so unexplainable and so hard to understand..even if you are the one going through it.
