Dealing with people with bipolar, schizophrenia and ...etc

It is a mad world, they say. Sometimes madness steps over the acceptable social line, cripples its hosts and becomes trying on the others. When the disease takes over, the person is rendered helpless and that is the saddest place to be in the world. And unless you are prepared, it becomes really stressful dealing with such people who become trapped souls in a mind that has turned against itself..self-destruction.. out of control. You want to be able to understand it, but you can't because how can a mind understand a fragmented mind. You want to be able to put up with it, but you can't for too long and you have to get away.

There are days, you never know what may happen. Suddenly there will be an outburst and you are cracking your head to the rationality of it all.. except there is none. There is no need to be. Often there is a need to hurt the others around. As the saying goes, 'the hurt will hurt'. And unless you are mentally and emotionally strong, it will wear you down little by little till you may even reach a point you can't take it anymore. And then you are left with the choice... unconditional love or your sanity. Unfortunately in this unforgiving world operating on limited time, survival of fittest and defence mechanisms, it is often the choice of your own sanity that prevails. Perhaps that is what is meant as karma...
