This would be why I don't call her and I don't see her but like 2-3 times a month. When I was in the hospital the last time, we had a family meeting and me, my husband, and the psychiatrist who was there, pointed out that she had her own issues she needed to deal with and she should go for counseling. That was.....8 months ago, and she has not went b/c everything is "fine.". But as my therapist says, you can't make her go to therapy, especially if she's not even going to listen or admit she has a problem.
I think I'm just going to tell my psych everything and let her decide what to do. I just hope she doesn't up the Seroquel or replace it with a diff anti-psychotic/mood stabalizer since I have enough problems waking up with the 100 mgs I take at night. Plus I think I've been on all of them at some point or another.
