[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 169201, member: 1157"] Oh boy, I remember those phone calls from the hospital .. "she's been discharged, come and get her!" and the panic I felt. I got to the point when it happened for like the 3rd time, I was ready to refuse to pick her up, and just let the chips fall where they may, just so she'd get help. I went so far as to threaten to give up my parental rights and let the county step in, just so she'd get into residential treatment. I wrote a scathing letter to the director of social services about how they were letting down my child, and were they going to wait until she had killed herself before they'd step in? That's what finally got her in... I didn't have to sign away my rights, but I entered into an agreement where they took temporary physical custody, to make her medicaid-eligible. Have you called your county about wrap-around services? That's where I got the most services for Youngest.. inhome counseling etc. I urge you to get back to a psychiatrist asap and talk about medications for yourself. Many things have changed in 6 years ... there are certainly more options than lithium or depakote. [/QUOTE]
