I questioning how much help we really need from professionals. I'm not on meds, haven't been for almost a month. First it was by accident but it's become a "eh, I'll take it tomorrow." I'm on my shot but that's really it. I take the meds some days just not the lamictal. My husband is having the same problem. We're stable for now so therapy seems pointless right now. We see our pdoc in 11 days but I want to cancel until I'm back on medication. Which will take a month of consistent med taking. So I really need to decide meds or no meds for good.
We all know that bp cycles so both my husband and I will eventually become unstable. The problem is we feed off each other and tend not to get help when needed. So regular t appointments have kept us getting help earlier. Last thing we need is to need IP and not get the help because we wont. The problem is our center just lost 3 of 4 of their therapists in a two week period and the management is pushing to put me with my husband's T. Our thought is if he stops therapy that if one of us needs it she'll be neutral by that point.
In the past we've relied on our family to take care of my son when we have needed help. Recently it was made clear if he has school work he's not allowed to spend the night at family's house. So that means he's stuck with us through our worst.
I feel like we have a handle on things right now but bp's episodic. How do you determine what services you need? especially when you don't know when you need help and are on the severe side of bp?
