my aunt is bipolar one pretty severly and she has been diagnosed but she refuses to admit that she has a problem b/c she hates lables and the meds therefore she is not taking any. i have OCD, GAD, and depression so although i know a lot about bipolar i have no idea what shes going through b/c i do not have it. i know that when she is not on her meds for a long time it can get really scary and sometimes she hurts herself or other people. i haven't been able to get a hold of her and she lives in chicago and i live in dallas. its not like her to not stay in contact with me and her phone has been disconnected. i'm really scared b./c last time we talked she didn't sound ok. its been a week and i know alot of you will be like a week thats it but for us thats a while. i don't know whats going on but she lives with her fiance who is also bipolar and not taking his meds so it has the potential to get really volitile and it has in the past. please just send any advice or positive thoughts my way b/c i have no idea whats going on with her....
