I have a friend who's having a manic episode and I don't know what to do for him. Should I just hang out with him? Should I distance myself from him? He says he's been like this before but I've never seen it and, honestly, it's a little frightening.

Don’t feel obligated to go along with his grandiose plans even if he’s charismatic about them, remind him he still has to sleep, and don’t feel bad for absenting yourself when you’ve had your fill, other than that it’s not like there’s a secret better option to deal with it
