[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 396177, member: 1514"] Jena...Im not too sure that you arent blaming or excusing all behaviors on the bipolar. I realize that it is quite easy to do that...trust me! I would love to do it...and I do realize that many things happen to people because we are in manic or depressed states. Trust me, there have been some really bad things I have done while manic. But we cant just say that everything we do or every behavior that happens is because of bipolar. Sometimes people are behaving badly just because...well, they are behaving badly...lol. Or they have gotten in the habit of doing something and they dont want to stop this behavior. Cory cussed like a sailor. Still does. Was that bipolar? I dont think so. All the therapists told me not to deal with it because we had bigger fish to fry and it was part and parcel of his "ODD" and his Bipolar and when we got that under control it would go away. Yeah right. It is one of his biggest problems. I wish I had washed his mouth out with soap like I wanted to...and did...from the first time he started. Maybe he wouldnt be cussing all the time now. I have no doubt that insomnia is part of your daughters bipolar. Screaming bloody murder in the middle of the night isnt. I have insomnia. Even sometimes with the medications I cant sleep. I dont go screaming through the house waking everyone up. She can learn to be quiet. She can sit in her room, watch TV, read a book, listen to music, do whatever is quiet, but she doesnt have to wake up everyone. Of course, this is my opinion. Take it for what its worth from a person with bipolar and a mother who raised a bipolar. [/QUOTE]
