Thank you for your opinion, and reality check. I think it's time to take things more casually. I've only known these people a few months.

It's all or none with me, that's always been one of my bipolar "things." Thanks again for your reply! It was very helpful. Now if only you could tell me how to get to sleep in this screwed up mood I'm in. Cabin fever!

I avoid other crazies like the plague myself.

It depends with me. Are they highly functioning? What is thier illness, and how does it effect thier interaction with others? Is it stuff that won't trigger me? I've known people with Borderline Personality disorder who were fine and some (well, many, no offense to those who have this illness) who were horrible.

I don't feel that the illness makes the person, even with people that have personality disorders. But, I can't be around people who let thier illnesses rule them, for my own personal health.
