One of the saddest by-products of this, to me, is her inability to actually have friendships. She uses people to get what she needs or wants. A good number of her "associates" of really not much different than her.

There is no boyfriend...she uses males and calls them her "vics' (victims). After she left Friday, her sister and I were cleaning up the bedroom she used and found empty condom packages under the bed...I have to stop my head from even going there because I just get ill and the pain surfaces again.

I completely understand how the meds affected her, but I encouraged her to talk to her Pdoc in order to find something more tolerable. Now, she won't even take the medicine for her hypothyroidism (which might even help just a little bit, and have NO side effects).

I'm thinking that one way I may be able to help is to provide a letter to Soc Sec detailing some of her behavior over the years and possibly showing when/how this began and how she's deteriorated over the years now.

I have a very close friend who's daughter is bipolar and is managing pretty well. My friend has suggested that her daughter get in contact with my daughter as they do know each other somewhat already and my daughter is somewhat familiar with what her daughter has been through.

As of now, my daughter has cut off contact somewhat with me. I have text messaged her twice to let her know about her clothes, but she has not responded. I'm hoping to hear something soon as I have the stuff in my car and have offered to drop off later today.
