@A mamin, I’m not a psychologist, but there are different degrees of bi-polar or even any mental health matter. I don’t think it matters though since G-d created every person differently, so 1 thing might bother 1 of us, but it doesn’t mean it will bother someone else.
I’ve lived in 2 different households with bi-polar persons. The first 1 didn’t end well & I couldn’t be in the same house.
The other person I really enjoyed having around…but then the other person told ME that they couldn’t stand being around since I had too many issues.
…and what is a “normal life”? I still have yet to meet anyone that is “normal”.
