[QUOTE="welcometowitsend, post: 590695, member: 14356"] JKf - That up and down is awful, isn't it? For us, I mean. It's like we get sucked onto their roller coaster and are constantly looking for a way to get off. Eventually, we'll be able to skip out of the line and not even get on that ride any more. I'm glad your difficult child is back on medication. I hope it is the key that helps him get his life straightened out. My difficult child has never been on a mood stabilizer - only antidepressants because the only official diagnosis' he has are ADHD, Tourette's and depression. Bipolar is not a diagnosis for him at this point. The psychiatrist said she'd have probably diagnosed him bipolar if either my husband or myself had been diagnosed. And I guess his overall behaviour wasn't radical enough on its own - even though when he lived with us he'd stay up for days at a time, was starting to become promiscuous, would leave our home and ride his bike for miles and miles in the middle of the night to 'visit' friends, rant and rave for hours over nothing, not to mention the suicidal thoughts that come and go. Now he won't even go to the psychiatrist and I can't force him to so we are sitting in limbo. Sigh. I guess I'll just have a light friendly text/phone conversation with him a couple of times a week and hope that sooner rather than later he starts to come around enough that I can get him some help.
