[QUOTE="worried sick mother, post: 665497, member: 19069"] My son was diagnosed with bipolar 2 but I questioned drugs and was always trying to figure out if it was drugs or mental illness. Now I know for sure he is using drugs. He was prescribed medication for bipolar that he does not take. He would continue to go see the psychiatrist and tell her he was taking his medications when he didn't even get the prescription filled. Anyways I went to see a drug and alcohol counselor when I was trying to figure it out and he told me that it didn't matter if it was drugs or mental illness that if I didn't stop enabling him that if its drugs then he will continue to use drugs and if it's a mental illness that he will never take his medication as long as I enable. He said my son had no reason to get better because I was taking care of everything. When they diagnosed my son they never ruled out drugs, the new counselor that I am seeing says that you can't diagnose someone with a mental illness without ruling drugs out. I am still helping my son financially right now with the agreement that he sees a new counselor and psychiatrist that will address the drug issue so we can hopefully find out if he really does indeed have bipolar. If my son doesn't comply then all support will be cut off. My son manipulates us with his mental illness diagnosis, maybe your daughter is doing the same. Ask her to take a drug test , you can buy those at drug stores and then make sure you watch her use the restroom for the sample to test. My son refused drug test because he said that I shouldn't think that way of him and he doesn't have to prove anything that I should trust him. Boy I was so gullible. Now I know if someone refuses a drug test it's because their using drugs. Keep us posted. [/QUOTE]
