There really is no reasoning with someone who is BP who has stopped their meds regimen for sometime. Bailing will make the situation worse because he will feel abandoned. He will be pissed because he is not currently meds compliant but I think the best bet is to get him hospitalized and stabilized. Then make sure he has support services in place after he leaves the hospital. The program I work for is an intensive case management program. We provide services to clients that are in and out of the hospital to kind of take the burden off the families and friends in a sense, as well as assure there is always someone around to advocate for them and make sure they don't fall through the cracks. Look and see if there is a program like this available in your state. On another note, how attached is this young man to you? I know of situations with BP's where they never get over someone and even "stalk" them in a sense. Just want to make you aware of this if you decide to end the relationship, he could still be in your life for some time, especially if he is not getting therapy or taking his meds.
