Oh...Trippin...thank you for that SOOOO much.

Suga...I have no way of contacting them. These are doc appointments made in part for her application for social security benefits. One is an internist, the other a psych, so I'm hoping the psych does his/her job. It's clearly stated on the app that she has been diagnosed bipolar, she's not on meds and hasn't been for months, so this doc should be able to see the signs. I can only hope and pray for this.

Although she was suicidal in the morning, by later afternoon, she was back to what is normal for her. I was able to get some resources to her for counseling centers, etc. I'm hoping she makes calls. I told her yesterday when she showed up that I cannot and will not help her until she begins to advocate for herself. I'm afraid the next confrontation may involve the police.

I have no problem having her committed and doing whatever is necessary to keep her in a psych hospital for as long as it takes. She may hate me for it, but that's a chance I'm more than willing to take.

I went into chat yesterday and spoke with a few people...that helped immensely, especially talking to those with bipolar. Standing firm on this type of necessity is really a struggle.
