my sister is bp and is over-medicating herself. She lost her house to a fire one week ago, was able to find an apartment and move in, got some beds and a tv, but she has been on a downward spiral this whole week.
Her husband is ready to give up on her because this is the third time in about 3 months that she has done this.
The family is thinking about doing an intervention, but I know she will just walk out of it. She is so stubborn.
I can't tell if she's manic or depressed because she is always over-medicated, slurring her words, can't hold a conversation and is constantly jittery. She is hallucinating now thinking that people are coming in her house, thinks her husband has some girlfriend in her bed (mind you she is standing right in front of the bed looking at it and no one is there) and is thinking that there are people having sex in the cars outside her apartment.
She refuses to go to the doctor or the hospital. She hasn't threatened herself or anyone else, as far as I know so I can't have her committed. I think Idaho is a state that you can't commit someone else or something like that. IDK.
I just don't know what to do.
Thoughts? Ideas? Help?
