[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 210014, member: 84"] Mental illness is slippery as oil. Period. And Lord knows even in this day in age, while much more is known than before, we still don't know much about it. Which in my opinion makes it worse. We're getting better at pinpointing symptoms/behaviors but we're still in the infancy stage of figuring out how they really tick and sure fire ways to treat them. I hate mental illness too. With Travis I can pinpoint what is wrong and the why of it. I can't change it. There is no treatment. But the why of it and how it works is enough to enable me to accept it, I think. If that makes sense. Is what happened with Nichole true mental illness? Or just something that happened? I'm afraid to place her into easy child statis because the truth is at this point we don't know. She's been stable for about a year now without medications or treatment. But I'm still not ready to totally accept that she has made it to easy child. I find myself worrying that it could happen again in the future. (great huh?) My Mom is seriously mentally ill. Yet she can pass as "normal" on the surface. I've dealt with her for a lifetime and still it causes me to just shake my head at times. Have I mentioned that I [B]hate[/B] mental illness, too?? (((hugs))) [/QUOTE]
