Sigh, so I hadn't seen my brother in about 9 months. For those of you who've heard me talk about him, you're probably aware that he's, well, kind of an odd, irritating person. Very frustrating to deal with, and extremely inconsiderate. He's a very charismatic, nice guy outwardly, but sometimes he is just an ass, especially to people close to him. Naturally I've been between irritated and concerned, although I've been keeping up with him online and getting assurances from him that it's just my parents who say he's weird and that he's alright and that he's much better in person.
Well, finally got to see him on my birthday yesterday, and well... I've come to the conclusion that he's gone from being odd to being debilitatingly bipolar, i.e. from plain fucking crazy to medically fucking crazy and basically completely impossible to deal with. For those who know me, again, you're probably well-aware that I'm an extremely patient and mostly easy-going person, and for me to call someone impossible to deal with is rather drastic. Now I'm just really concerned and sad

The guy needs help, but he makes it very difficult for anyone to help him...
Sigh, family...
