It’s unfortunately common that the mentally ill – especially those who suffer from one of the various forms of bipolar disorder – have a difficult time maintaining relationships. Batshit’s most listened to episode by far was Bipolar Relationships, where we went in-depth as the disease’s effects on romantic relationships.
In this follow-up to that most popular episode, Adam and Brad now discuss why it’s so difficult for bipolar patients to maintain friendships, and Brad thoroughly embarasses himself by telling how exactly his manic self has destroyed friendships throughout his life.
Episode Description:
Childhood friendships. The machines have taken over. When did your bipolar develop? Acting like a child while manic. Brad runs Micah off while manic. Pistachio crumbs. It’s difficult to be vulnerable with another man. Brad runs DeVon off while manic. And Josh. Memory gaps. Pirate treasure. Driving naked. Brad runs Sian off while manic then walks 20 miles to the airport. Scars on your brain. That damn Batman podcast. Brad runs George off while manic. And James, then James died. And Nikki. Any time we get close to someone we know they’ll hate us one day. Brad really hates lamps. The people who see that side of us and stick around. We’re so tired of fighting this thing.
