dont know what to believe any more.

with bipolar disorder the amount of control you can lose can range from doing things you may not normally do to losing touch with reality entirely. i have been down both roads and i would never have sleep with a friends boyfriend but i dont know. has this friend done hurtful things to you in the past and blamed it on bipolar? do you really love her enough to work things out or do you think you may be better off without her in your life?

i was with my first boyfriend for three years the guy i lost my virginity to and the day we broke up one of my best friends went over to his house and slept with him. she was always a bit of a slut but i defended her all these years because she was incestually molested by her grandfather. we are no longer friends because while she says she has changed i could see her doing the same sort of thing again. i know she has issues to work out but you can only be someones friend for so long and try to help them for so long before you realize that maybe you can not help them. they have to help themselves. i am glad to be rid of her and my exboyfriend, it took me about a year to get over it and i forgive the both of them but  still i dont want them in my life. some bridges are better left burnt.

while your friend may be out of touch due to her bipolar disorder that does not mean you have to immediatley forgive and forget. it is not an excuse and she should own up to her actions. like i said before it all depends on how much you care about this person if it is worth working out or not. talk to her about how if she is sorry maybe she needs to get back on her meds so she can be the person she says she is not the hussie turbo skank beeotch she has been acting like. i think people can work through anything if they really want to. for about a year every time i saw my exfriend at a bar or a friends i wanted to beat the hell out of her it took me a whole year to get over it so good luck.

Does her reason really matter? Remember, doing what she did requires two people. I'd put just as much blame on your boyfriend; leave him in the dust and don't look back.

I second Winston. The bf was half the problem. The other half was your friend. Some part of that half was due to bp. I have bp and how I deal with others with bp is that I trust them more when they are actively seeking/getting treatment. I do not trust self-medicating bps worth crap. I do struggle differentiating between the person and the disease. If your friend is truly making an honest effort to help herself so that she stops hurting herself and others, give her some leeway. But do not forget that it took two to tango. If your friend's excuse was her bp, what was the bf's?
