I would think that if you were up and down and all around...your nephew might benefit from a brief talk...but I'm thinking about how different I talk to my 9 year old daughter versus my 13 or 15 year old sons...If your nephew asks about your medication...simply, direct, honest answer is the way to go...These prescriptions from the doctor help me stay well...so this sets up the understanding that you are seeing a doctor and your taking medications that were prescribed to keep you well. Also they may have explained things to your nephew...doesn't mean he understands and can make the connections as to why you take med's

Assuming the paper you gave your sister didn't mention anything about homicidal tendency...then she is simply telling you her fear...she doesn't understand bipolar if she makes that leap...but you will just need to help her understand that bipolar does not equal homicidal tendencies...

Central to your life...who cares if it is? If you had cancer, the treatment of it would be central to your life...wouldn't it? My mom had a brain tumor removed...tomorrow will be her 1 year survivor anniversary. Let's just say that it has been a tremedous focus. Physical things like this seem so much easier to understand.

I would continue after the job...if you are being fully supported by your sister's family it would be nice for them to see progress...work on the 5013c in your spare time...Start with a volunteer job or increase tasks you complete at there house. Make a goal of sending out x resumes and completing y interviews each week. If your not attending groups, find a program ... network with others...
