If one of us are in a bad manic episode, please don't be scared. We're not gonna hurt you. Trust me, we're more scared of you than you are of us. We're going to threaten you, but we are NOT going to do anything to you. Truth is, we're scared to. We only say that so you back away from us. If you want to help us, be calm and g..tle. Know what you're going to say beforehand and have a plan B.
