Dx: BP2, PTSD, bulimia/anorexia
Seroquel 300mgs
Trileptal 300mgs
Buspar 45mgs
Ativan 1mg PRN
Vyvance 70mgs PRN

This exactly. They probably won't even attempt to give her any kind of real treatment for the ED. They will be too busy saying "holy *****, she set herself on fire" and dealing with the implications of that. She will probably be drugged very, very heavily.

I would try to talk her out of it if I were you. If you can't and you know she's about to do it (as in immediately, not just talking about a plan) I would call 911 on her. This could go wrong in so many ways.
