It all depends on how invested you are into the relationship. If this is just a coworker then I would avoid them as much as possible. If this is something more, then you have to decide how much you are willing to take. In all cases, the best plan is to call them on their manipulation. Whenever you can let them know that you know what they are doing. Bipolars can be manipulative but they know they are doing it and will tone it down when called on it. I know I am bipolar. If it is a minor relationship, I would say just don’t deal with it. It may not be worth the energy.
I would just walk away. There would be no point in dealing with someone like that.
If you are dealing with someone like that, it’d be best not to get in their way. You may love them, you may not. But you must be careful not to set them off. They could end up making you very upset, or upsetting themselves. Be kind (if you can) but don’t do anything to instigate this condition of their. Tread lightly and luck be with you.
Pray!
Keep them at arm’s length, if possible, while still being respectful. Mental illness isn’t something that is the fault of the person, but you deserve to be healthy and happy, too, which is something to remember while dealing with him or her. Best of luck.
Bipolar disorder is a mental illness that will cause mood, energy and intellectual processes to cycle. Between 3% and 5% of Americans have bipolar disorder. That is about 4 million people. Bipolar disorder used to be called "manic depression" because that term described the most severe cases. The term bipolar was adopted in a effort to describe how this disorder has symptoms that range between two "poles".
Try to understand this persons illness, and encourage them to control their disorder.
Good luck (because it can be a pain in the butt)
