[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 462010, member: 1514"] So let me understand completely. She is 20 years old, BiPolar (BP), has been in some sort of residential placement and she uses drugs but she has no sort of income. How does she get money for the drugs? It doesnt sound like she has much of a social life if she is that complacent. They picture I get of her is not a very obnoxious or unruly person. Does she have a bunch of friends who are supporting her habit? What was or is her drug of choice? I truly get that she doesnt want to be on medications right now if she has been on them for a long time prior to turning into an adult. That happens a lot. My son has done this. He was completely compliant with medications up until he turned 18 and then just stopped. I understand why too. He was taking lithium and it caused him horrible shakes that continue to this day and he is 25 years old. I figure one day he will go back and get on something else. If your daughter is just listless and doing nothing but acting very depressed, is there anything you think you could do to motivate her to get the ball rolling to start becoming more involved in her own life in a positive way. Something fun. Now this wouldnt work if she is causing problems in your home. Im just thinking if she is more just moping around and wont do anything. I dont know enough about your situation.
