They Find Out You're Bipolar (Everyone)

A/N:I am not trying to stereotype bipolar at all. I have it so when I use terms like mania and episodes I am basing it off of what I know. I know it's a spectrum and different for everyone, but I'm still trying to generalize it as best as I can without being disrespectful

Thomas

-Doesn't know a lot about it at first so he's a little lost

-Secretly looks up stuff about it so he knows and can help better

-Catches on to the signs and what helps you very quickly

-Never tells anybody and reminds you that you don't owe anyone an explanation for something you can't even control

-Will sit in comfortable silence and hold your hand when he can tell things are getting rough

-Will journal with you so that you feel connected with him but not pressured to talk

-Suggests speaking to him through writing when you physically can't talk

-Is very patient when you do

-Would drop everything the second you needed him

-Basically, he doesn't care whether you need silence or a thousand words as long as you're safe and comfortable

Newt

-Notices the red flags due to his past experience

-Very gently coaxes what's wrong out of you

-Opens up back so you know you aren't alone in your mental health

-Makes you a list of reasons to live and gives it to you for the next time your low comes

-Would have an alarm for when you need to take your medication

-Would drive you to and from any psychiatrist and therapists appointment

-Doesn't mind when he needs to remind you to eat, sleep, or so basic things when you're going manic

-Lets you know when he's worried about you without talking down to or babying you

-Would help you schedule a doctor's appointment when your crash or mania is worse than usual or goes on for too long

-Would be on the lookout for side effects from any new medications or treatments so he can let you know to bring them up at your appointment

-All in all, your most caring and loving supporter

Minho

-Can tell when you're upset about having it and will try to make jokes to cheer you up

-If it doesn't work he'll sit with you in silence and hold you

-Would never, ever, ever let anyone talk bad about the mental illness, even if you aren't there

-Would sometimes give you too tough love (telling you that you're crashing or having an episode when you're in denial)

-When he can tell that it hurt your feelings and just made you defensive he would stop and give you a minute to cool down

-After that he would calmly explain why he believes that and would help with whatever you needed if he was right or if something else was going on

-Could sometimes be too much when getting you out of the house and doing stuff that's good for you when you're crashing but would realize before it does any harm

-Would apologize about it and spend the day laying with and comforting you

-To sum it up, his love and concern can be pushy but he will always be there for whatever you need
