Just looking specific ideas/steps here which is why I am laying out specific details. Friend is 30 and Bi-polar and hasn't gone to many years with out slipping off meds. She got a liberal arts degree but has always worked service industry jobs and this experience made me think she could be radicalized. She's in and out of her parents house (which is bad). Now she is try to get some certs in a technical field and failing. She desperately desperately wants to be normal and provide for herself. She idolizes Candice Owens as a "strong (self-made) woman (who speaks her mind)" and just read and Loves JP's 12 rules for life. I'm will continue to be there for her and help her when needed but it's starting to feel more like charity than solidarity. I'm looking for something to slip her way that can specifically, and gently, address these two grifters. Or something can help her re-conceptualize her mental illness as something that makes her unique not abnormal (to put it in lazy terms).
I'm afraid that might be "too wordy" for her. Even I have never gotten thru an episode with out multiple rewinds to clarify. but yes i agree in general Citations Needed is something i often promote when people ask about news/current events/political podcasts.
