[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 205349, member: 3626"] I think we all fight putting our kids on medications, especially if we see improvement without them. If she is bipolar, then the reality is she will need medications. The reality is that if there's a chemical imbalance, then medications should be considered -- obviously the least potent possible. Now, I'm going to ask you a question that will probably really upset you. Have you considered medications for yourself? Your posts are frequently jumbled, racing thoughts. You come up with plans that make no sense such as the one about being a paralegal without an attorney supervising -- you've been in the legal field long enough to know the risks of that, yet you considered it as a viable option. It really does sound as if you need more than just therapy. Please understand this is not criticizing you but is said out of concern. You need to be stable to be able to help your daughter. Regardless, you have to do what you feel is right for your daughter. If you feel she can cope without them, then let her try. Be sure she can talk to you about her feelings, not just say what she thinks you want to hear. That way, you can be more clear of what she needs. I wish you the best. [/QUOTE]
