This remains true. My daughter is still adjusting to her medications, and she's still in a slightly manic phase. I'm not sure there's any sign of her coming down anytime soon. No matter how early I get up, she's already up and around, and the minute she sees me, it's talk-talk-talk about random topics. I don't even have a chance to *breathe* first. I don't have a minute to myself. Even if she tries to calm herself down and be "meditative," it lasts maybe five seconds before she starts chattering again. If I'm doing something I need to concentrate on--makes no difference. Constant interruptions.
Please understand, I know she can't help it. I'm not blaming her, but I do have to vent because it's got me TOTALLY on edge.
