[QUOTE="elizabrary, post: 743663, member: 11235"] My daughter isn't bipolar (at least not diagnosed, but who knows?) but I have a cousin who is. She lives independently has been married twice and has an adult son. She has had several good jobs which she was able to succeed at. She is fine when she takes her medication, but as is the case with many people who have bipolar, she feels good and decides she doesn't need her medications then crashes when she stops taking them. From my experience if someone with bipolar is compliant with their medications and has some support near them- family or friends to kind of make sure they're taking medications and sticking to their routine- they can successfully live independently. They also need to learn and be willing to manage their illness. [/QUOTE]
