[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 310818, member: 1514"] These ladies are dead on. I dont have quite as bad mania as it seems your wife has but I have been there before. I am also very sorry you are having to rely on a community mental health service for her care. I know first hand how lacking in care the psychiatrists can be there sometimes. I had to use one for two years when I lost insurance and the idiot psychiatrist took me off all my psychiatric medications that worked so well for me for years to try to put me on "his" favorite bipolar cocktail. Well...his favorite mix didnt work for me. I had been on my mix for years and they worked great but when he pulled me off...I really went bonkers. It took me months to convince him to put me back on my medications and then to convince him to let me use one of my medications he thought I was on way too high a dose...and he would never read my old charts...what a terrible doctor! I cant take an anti-depressant at all. I had the worst manic episode in my life due to taking an anti-depressant. I wont bore you with the details but it was bad! Even now, I dont keep all access to the family money because I dont completely trust myself. I am much much better than I have ever been but why tempt fate...lol. I do allow myself a little bit of fun money. I have my ebay money. Maybe 50 a month to play with. I can use that to either ebay or yard sale or hit walmart for something for the grandkids. Makes me feel like I have some sort of play in my life. If I didnt do that I would be resentful. [/QUOTE]
