[An archist]

Isn't this the same basic principle as the say what you want thread?

God, it seems like no-one understands me.

[bellyscratch]

Theres probably some stuff I could say in this thread but don't want to look like a total loser, so I won't bore you with the details.

"Let me take the fall, let me take the blame, let me carry you from Hell to home again..."

"Let me be your armor, let me be your shield, let me take away the pain you feel..."

Okay, I need to pour my heart out/get advice from some people about something. This isn't so much about a ROMANTIC relationship, but I need to understand if this friendship I'm in is a healthy one that helps us both or is a CO-DEPENDENT trainwreck that needs to change.

I'm a guy with Type 2 Bipolar Disorder, but have been in therapy and on proper medication for years, so I consider myself rather stable (though I have my days/weeks...).

Recently, I had an Anarchist friend diagnosed with Type 1 Bipolar Disorder after years of it being rather obvious- I mean, this child is a little hellion- this crust-punk chica's always getting into fights, going crazy with alcohol and drugs, used to cut herself when she was depressed, and seems to screw up every relationship she gets into. Now she's on medication and in therapy, and as soon as she announced it publicly, in I swooped to help guide her through the madness.

Since then, I've basically acted as a guardian angel to her- being there whenever she's depressed or hurting herself, chastising her when she does something manic or reckless, heck, I even go with her to the doctor when she asks me to. Every step of the way, I've been there to catch her when she falls, protect her from every blow, and pick her up from every PBR-and-vomit-stained floor of every punk venue in town.

However, I'm worried that this might turn into a co-dependent relationship. About a month ago, when I was in a depressive phase, I was about to give up on life, but then ended up getting a call from her, and in a tearful tirade said that she can't live without me and that at times I'm the only thing keeping her going. I realized then that she gave me something to fight for, and that I had something to live for (and eventually I got back into a level-headed state of mind, seeing that I have a multitude of things to live for). But now, that incident is concerning me- and making me wonder if this relationship could become unhealthy one, one where we end up feeding on each other's negative behaviors, irrational ideas, and self-absorbed thinking.

I want to help her, and guide her through a very painful experience that I have experienced, but I also don't want this friendship to veer into something bad and ultimately self-defeating. Thoughts?

I strongly dislike several people in the CC, and most of the people who frequent chit-chat.

I've been there a million times before and it always turns ugly. I never help the other person get well, they always get me sick.
I've seen it so many times. Boundaries man. Carry the message, don't carry the person.

Also, to all revlefter's : love me. Love me. Please love me. LOVE ME!!!!! OH GOD WHY?! WHHHHYYYYYYYYYYY?!!!

Ok, I fell better.
