[QUOTE="helpangel, post: 628391, member: 7170"] welcome landshark i'm an enabler also, also have 2 chronically mentally ill people living in the house. the wise warrior parents at this site have helped teach me when to offer assistance and when to stay out of it. i'm going to have to keep this short because need to get one of mine to the doctor appointment. i've been riding them to reschedule since january. i would suggest instead of doing her laundry, offer her use of your machine and soap to do it or probably a better option at this point is offer ride to laundry mat and supply the quarters for her to wash 10 loads at one time and just get it all done. i feel a need to give you a heads up about something as i've seen it happen to a couple of my friends when their first medication is an antidepressant... if you visit daughter and the place is clean, then you find out she is feeling top of the world and has all this energy, hasn't slept for days... she really needs to call whoever is prescribing her antidepressant and tell them all that (what a great job it is doing) it's possible she might need a mood stabilizer to go with it and the only way the person prescribing the medications would know that is if she tells them. people don't go tell their doctor when they are feeling great, they seek treatment when they are feeling bad (depressed). when angel lays around all day watching tv yes its a little annoying but when i get up to find she hasn't been to sleep last night and is singing while cleaning cobwebs it literally scares me because i know what goes up must come down and have been with her when she needed inpatient the 17-18 (lost count) times she has gone in. just saying try to only help to the extent it is needed, supervise and point in right direction when they need help. sending hugs and good thoughts your way nancy [/QUOTE]
