[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 42182, member: 2459"] Even with my difficult child being BiPolar (BP), there's a lot I don't know about it but I would think that it just depends on the person and how "severe" the BiPolar (BP) is. With mine, he doesn't do some of the textbook symptoms. Non-medicated, he's either ok or raging. But now that he's medicated, when he cycles, he gets Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and cleans or rearranges the house. Constantly. And not in good ways. He also used inappropriate things to clean with such as good towels to clean grass stains off his shoes (white towels to boot of course) or CLR to clean his shoes.....things like that. Some of this, though, I can never figure out if it's the BiPolar (BP), the ADHD or just him not pulling his head out of a particular oriface long enough to look around at what he's doing. I would think though, that if your easy child has a stand alone BiPolar (BP) diagnosis, it could be easier to figure out triggers, symptoms, signs, etc. and address them as they come along or head them off if you see them coming. Just MHO though so take it as you will. I would start charting any out of the ordinary behaviors or "symptoms" and see if you can find a pattern. Like I said, with difficult child he cleans when he cycles so now I know what to look for with him. Also, he tends to start having strange dreams when he's headed into a cycling phase and sometimes has other sleep issues. You and easy child will just have to figure out what her specific "things" are and find ways to adjust or address them. Good luck and sending thoughts and hugs. [/QUOTE]
