[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 256622, member: 84"] When Nichole first starting talking about this last night......My first thought was OMG did I push her too hard by asking her to move by fall quarter?? But I don't think so. Nichole is genuinely excited about moving out on her own. However, I think it is also a motivator for her to get this under control. Still, she was not planning to move until August. And given the current situation, if she doesnt' seem to be doing better as that approaches we can rethink the move if necessary. I'm not going to push the issue if she can't handle it. We'll find a way to cope. I'm not sure how to discribe it, but this is evidently something that remained after the downward spiral because these behavior/symptoms have always been present. This aspect was never truly treated because while psychiatrist at county mental health was good....psychiatrist stubbornly only addressed the depression and mood swings that were occuring with the downward spiral. She also would not listen to Nichole when it came to this other. It is the potential for violence that worries me the most. Simply because I've seen the monster many many times. She is truly out of control when raging. I can handle her during rages only because I've grown up surrounded by this and learned to deal with it at a very young age, plus have also been trained to deal with it while working psychiatric. And it still takes huge effort to talk her down out of a rage. I can actually see the shift take place, I see it in her eyes......the same way I've seen it in my mother's eyes my whole life. And this has always scared me. My mother is most certainly a danger to others in this state, as was my mother's father. Yet, unlike my mother, Nichole wants treatment. Which can make all the difference for her. That she is willing to open up completely to psychiatrist this time is something that is huge for her. Given the circumstances, I don't think we'll have a problem getting her seen by psychiatrist rather quickly. He doesn't take such things lightly and staff will bend over backward to squeeze her in if there is someway to do so. I'm better this afternoon. I'm focusing on the fact that Nichole is reaching out, that she is still being proactive about her illness. And I thank my lucky stars that she does not appear to have the paranoia issue, or if she does, to the point of my mother which is the main reason my Mom refuses treatment. This could potentially be so very much worse if Nichole were in denial or refusing to be treated. So I'm detemined to be grateful for what we do have working in our favor and pray that it doesn't change. Thank you all for the support. I don't know where I'd be without it. Hugs [/QUOTE]
