Well, I asked her about it, and she said to my face "no, you are doing great managing your mania". Told her it was just hypomania and it was a lot less severe than full blown mania. She has info to read on it that I gave her but she didn't read it yet.

I guess that really wasn't the truth... yesterday morning at 4:00 a.m., I heard a noise outside my room, I opened the door to find my sister having a non-epileptic seisure (stress induced seisure). Maybe if she had talked to me when I asked her, she wouldn't have gone through this. She also stated inbetween seisures that she had crushing chest pain and couldn't breath (she was turning bright red). I'm use to the seisures but I called 911 on the breathing and chest pains. The paramedics took her to the hospital and she was admitted for tests. Six hours later she's fending off family phone calls telling her what she needs to do. She cut off all contact with family (except me because I was in the room). She then said she had a migrane (she has a history of those). She asked for pain medication and the doctor said he could give her something that would make the headache go away... she still wanted pain meds. She got some narcotic pain killers IV. Once she got those, she wanted everyone out and not to call (including me).

She has had migranes a lot (especially when her hubby is on business). She's been going to the ER and they give her pain meds. I'm starting to believe that this is what she really wants to begin with. I know that is not a nice thing to believe and I don't want to believe it, but it fits a long time pattern.

Also with her seisures, her docs say that it's stress. She's on disability right now. The rest of the family are trying to get her to get some long term help at one of those fancy mental health resorts. She told her hubby she would go, but dollars to donuts, I think she will talk her way out of it just before it's time for her to go.

She also threatened to move me out of her house if i told any family members what happened (this usually indicates that she's going to tell a tale to make herself look better).

I'm really struggling with this issue.

Please help.
