When she was first diagnosed with bipolar, the pdoc mentioned lithium. And exactly because of the blood tests involved, didn't give it to her. She is supposed to have regular blood tests anyway to make sure her thyroid medication is balancing the hormones that she's lacking, so what is the difference??? Alas...no insurance tends to weed options out pretty quick and very definitely.

She's already cycling again...out of the blue with calls wanting money...ugh.

I had to put one of my cats down last night...and in the midst of all that, she texts me wanting money for shoes she does NOT need. I simply said No...and stopped responding...I think I needed medication last night.

Of course, now I have to tell her about the cat...she is way unpredictable...gonna hold off as long as I can with that one.

I hate to say it, but I may have to throw my hands up and admit defeat here...unless she wants me involved in her care, anything I know or find out or suggest does nothing but irritate her...why do I care more than she does???

Yanno...I was watching an episode of Criminal Minds...and in it, Reed claimed that he needed to know everything about schizophrenia because his mother had it...he believed that by learning and knowing, he could fix it...I think that's me....I'm a fixer...always have been...probably always will be...
