The Gift of True Friendship 💛

I'm bipolar.

>> Really?

>> Yes.

I have been since I was 15.

>> How come you never told me?

One who wants to hire someone with a

mental illness and entertainment law.

Aren't we crazy enough?

Sorry.

So, why are you telling me now? Because

you're more than work.

And you should know what you're dealing

with if we're going to see each other

outside of the office, which I would

like. But I have incredibly low periods.

So low

that I can barely move. I am impossible

to be around. I uh can barely answer the

phone. I'm totally unreliable as a

friend. In fact, in some ways, I'm

probably the worst friend you could ever

have. Uh don't check a single box.

Have a meeting 5 minutes ago.

>> Okay, Phyllis. Hey, those guys from

admin in my office, tell them we have to

cancel today.

I'll see them tomorrow.

>> Yeah. And I'll tell them I'm really

sorry.

You want to get lunch?

>> Mhm.

Get a menu.

[Music]

So, where are you right now moodwise?

>> I'm coming off of a low. Tonight will be

pretty manic.

[Music]

You're the first person I've ever told

about this.

>> How does it feel telling me?

>> Like an elephant's taken one of its feet

off my chest.

>> I'm so glad you've told me.

It explains so much.

If anything, not knowing made it a

little difficult to connect with you

fully the way I would have wanted.

[Music]

>> So, you want to get a drink sometime?

You want to go to the movies? You want

to see people?

>> All of the above.

>> You are the most fun I've ever been

around. I'm not letting that go.

>> Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

>> It's amazing what trusting one true

friend in your life can do.
