If nobody in our family is there to talk with him immediately when he demands, then something drastic happens such as burning parts of his body (e.g. nipples) or anything that forces our attention to focus on him.

Every week is a struggle, he dreams on becoming a world-known DJ and music is all he cares, but he is always on the edge of becoming a homeless because he is simply unable to hold a job (focus) or simply be nice to others, more often than not he becomes arrogant without real reason, which isolates him further.

Now that brother of mine is saying that he dreams about committing suicide like Kurt Cobain, because he considers himself a musician of the same level/type and I had to dismiss that thought by telling him that he first needs to have a world-wide hit. It's not good.

So, when reading the blog post with that description of the world against her (persecution), the mood swings, the clinical diagnosis of being bipolar. These are things I've had to endure for many years, because this is my brother and I care deeply for him.

But I'd certainly not be able to work side-by-side with a bipolar person as it would be affecting me emotionally and then professionally. At least with my brother I just see him on the weekends and through Facebook chat, not every single day and having to ask her things while the mood is not helping one bit.

This is why I've mentioned that we should wait to hear what her team mates will say (if saying anything at all).
