[QUOTE="lovemysons, post: 621173, member: 3305"] difficult child called me today and told me he is out of the hospital. The State psychiatric hospital has dxd him with Bipolar Disorder...PTL! For YEARS young difficult child has only been in psychiatric hospital's long enough to get a diagnosis of depression and anxiety. Finally, they are on to him. He was originally dxd at 14 yrs old with Bipolar but had trouble with the medications they used then. He said he is taking Zyprexa, Lamictal and Wellbutrin for the Bipolar Disorder. He also said he's taking Oxycontin for his back problems. :-( He claims he may be able to wean off the Oxycontin and try other pain relief. I sure hope so! He also told me that daughter in law is giving him one last chance...Guess the new "girlfriend" from the hospital didn't work out for him. He and daughter in law were together today and she went to visit him at the hospital on Sunday while I took care of the grandkids. She is learning about mental illness. I think I will buy $50 worth of toiletries, new jeans, etc for young difficult child on Saturday when he and the family are expected over as he doesn't have but one pair of jeans that fit now. I will probably also make him a birthday cake as last Wednesday was his 25th Birthday. Don't know how long young difficult child will stay on these medications though...specifically interested in him staying on the medications for Bipolar...but he says he's already gained 30lbs...and I know he is vain. It WILL be an issue if he continues to gain weight. The other thing he told me was that they said he was a VERY good candidate for Disability with his pacemaker, back problems, and Bipolar Disorder. So anyway, that's the latest. Oh, and he'll be staying at a Boarding facility in the city from what I understand...claims he will stand on corner tomorrow to do some "day labor" type work.
