You should try embroidery. It's really fun and relaxing. Google "Sublime Stitching." They have some tutorials on there on the different stitches. That's how I learned.
@Pinkweeds I know that you probably didn't mean it that way, but it kind of sounds like you are associating kleptomania (which this doesn't seem to be a case of unless the girl is actually stealing stuff) with bipolar disorder. I have bipolar disorder and know a lot of other people who do as well. None of them have kleptomania. I'm offended by the statement that "It's hard to deal with people like that." That was a very insensitive statement.
Good for you! You did the right thing. I'm very proud of you!
I've attempted suicide several times. I have also "cried for help" at times when I really wasn't serious about taking my life, but needed someone to listen to me and felt it was the only way they'd hear me. It was a very selfish, immature thing to do; emotional bullying as Sheila said. That's what it sounds like your friend is doing to you. Remember, you need to take care of yourself first and this relationship is obviously not healthy for you. Let the professionals take care of the serious stuff. Report it to a hotline or authorities if you feel he is serious. He'll be grateful if he really did need help. Also remember, that if another person takes their own life, it is not your fault. You can never control the actions of another human being, you can only control your own.
Look at the awesome stuff Ruby sent me! I'm so stoked about it! Everything is wonderful. Thank you, Ruby!
Wow! That's awesome stuff, Zina!
Yay! I'm glad you like it!
Awesome! Thanks! Also very helpful for doing digital stuff. 
Here are the things that I sent to Melissa. A tee, some little bags and pouches, some cards I made with a hand carved stamp, some skeleton earrings, and a pirate bunny plushie.
Here is the awesome stuff I got from Melissa! An embroidered bag. Hand painted wooden magnets and ornaments, a keychain. A Captain Kiddo wooden sign that made me giggle. That is so hanging in my room! Thanks, Melissa! I love it all!
Cool teaser, Ruby! I love the stuff you made, Violetta! I mailed my package off to Ruby today! I can't wait until she gets it!
Just to let you know, Melissa received mine. I heard from her on FB. She should be sending mine out this week.
Cute, Jolanda! I'm terrified of snakes, but I love that one!
I'm sorry you're having such a rough time with your family situation. I was lucky I guess. I have a crazy family, too, but the really bad ones have either all died off or we just don't have anything to do with them. My immediate family is pretty sane. I inherited the bipolar genes from the nutso side of my family, but luckily my parents and sister have helped me through the rough times. You sound like a strong girl and all of this will only make you stronger. Please don't let it break you. I officially adopt you as a sis. *hugs*
