Mental Health Support

YOU have NO control over the illness, OTHER than to make medication, doctors etc...
available to her. If you do not take care of yourself, you are no help to her.

My daughter was diagnosed 6 years ago with BP1.
She too, went through a period of hearing voices.
It is imperative that your daughter stay away from drugs- other than those prescribed
by a qualified doctor.

Lithium was the magic bullet for my daughter, but she refuses to take it, and as a result
I now have a fractured rib.

I have continued to store bottles of Lithium, should she decide to take it again.

I recommend the Julie Fast web site for your edification.

Thank the heavens for the ACA- it provided insurance to our child until she turned 26
in December. Now we can not find an insurance company anywhere, due to her records
as having a "pre-existing" medical condition.

If you want to talk- PM me with your number.

Mopinko is also an excellent person to talk with, BTW-

Hugs to you, and remember to take care of yourself.
Otherwise, you will be no help to your child.
