It's my 4th quarter. I write about travel, being an immigrant, aging with adventure. A Gritty Little Tourist Town:Bar Tales from Costa Rica now available.
It is hard, hard, hard to sit with someone so miserable. When it can’t be fixed. When your very best advice falls on deaf ears. When all you can do is to keep your friend company.
How do you manage your feelings about a friend's pain?

@Bipolaroidgal Ah, sorry for the tardy response. Mostly: keeping a regular schedule and manage the amount of stimulation and stress. The other night I left a dinner party early because I knew the energy level of the discussion would take me too long to come down from so that I could sleep
@Bipolaroidgal It was that way for the first several years. Grieving what I had lost, then finding new purpose helped me move on. Now I do all those bipolar management things so that something else is possible. I never thought I could ever say again - I love my life!

I believe that the spiritual resources of people who have always lived in privilege are simply not enough to carry us through this present day. We have to return to a deeper wisdom, a stronger spirit.
