[QUOTE="dashcat, post: 569539, member: 9175"] Well..... I talked with her last night. She found out yesterday that they are keeping her on at Target (she was hired as seasonal help with the understanding that it was possible that they might keep her if all went well). I told her I was thrilled for her and that I was proud of her for working so hard. I was able to steer the conversation toward her sleeping so much and followed CJane's suggestion that at least trying the medications might help her to have energy beyond her shift. She listened agreeably and then told me she was going to wait until after the holidays. Her reasoning is that, if she's kept it together through the stress of the world of holiday retail, she will be just fine post-holiday. If she's not, she'll go on the medications. She was pleasant, but she's not budging. She pointed out that she is at work - on time- for every shift. Who cares if sheeps the rest of the time? This actually makes sense to her. Ugh. I think her reasoning is that, as long as she is not on medications, she really isn't bi-polar. I'm frustrated, but I know I can't do anything right now but wait. (and get new ligh bulbs!)
