[QUOTE="Calamity Jane, post: 571311, member: 13882"] I'm sorry Dash. It could be so many things...she's too depressed right now to think about taking the next step; she doesn't want to take medications because you can't drink alcohol while on medications; she doesn't want to face the reality and acknowledging the finality of bipolar right now. Maybe she's afraid the medications won't help her. Stigma. The breakup. So many things. Even though bipolar can be manageable, it's hard to accept - also she's been making accomodations and adjustments probably for so long that she's just used to it by now. Also, she's problem. putting every bit of her energy into getting through her job shifts and she has nothing left at the end of the day to think about other serious matters. Dash, if you've not done so already, I'd encourage you to look into NAMI. They have so much helpful information that you, and certainly difficult child - if she was open to it - could get so much great advice and pertinent info. It will make things a little bit less scary.
