[QUOTE="welcometowitsend, post: 569197, member: 14356"] Dash - I would suspect that she is cycling into a depression. The sun is out less and less - so less vitamin D, this time of year can be the worst for mental health patients. I would agree with Calamity. I'd get up tomorrow and have a visit with her before work. Tell her you are concerned that she might be cycling into a depression and ask her if you can make a dr.'s appointment for her and take her to the appointment. She certainly sounds like she is trying to cope with whatever this is. Maybe she just needs your help. She is still early in the process of caring for her own mental health and may need your help for a while, at least. I would think about asking the doctor which to try first, given the situation, lithium or antidepressants. Maybe lithium for a week to rule out side effects and then introduce the antidepressants? Not sure. With my difficult child they are doing antidepressants first because that was the worst symptom for him and they still aren't sure about the bipolar because of his age. Thinking of you.
