[QUOTE="tryagain, post: 582470, member: 14865"] Calamity Jane, thanks for replying; I feel a little less alone.Yes, she is on 2 bipolar medications (hopefully she is taking them) and has had excellent psychiatric care for several years. She really likes her psychiatrist-thank goodness- he even tried to call her yesterday after I left him a message - she and the boyfriend are not substance abusers-her psychiatrist has warned her about the dangers of drug interactions and I do believe she occasionally might drink lightly but she does not smoke or use drugs although in high school I am sure they tried pot a few times-When she comes home for a visit and goes out with her girlfriends, she is actually the designated driver. One less issue lol, but she's got plenty more... The worst thing about her is how violent she will get when she is manic -she has kicked through two doors in our house and hurled her cell phone through a 6 foot plateglass window- when she first became psychotic a few yrs back, she bit me so badly I had to go on antibiotics -that's when she began psychiatric treatment. Yet if you met her, she'd charm you like she does everyone. She and her older sibling were both adopted as infants; he fights depression but he is doing pretty well.Thanks for the shoulder, I needed it. [/QUOTE]
