Bad news. N1's girlfriend is here. (She's on the phone at the moment.) We were talking about N1. She's in the psychiatric emergency waiting to be admitted. She's a mess. Her girlfriend was filling me in on things. We took a pic of us together and sent it via snapchat to N1. Said "I Love You, my daughter and happy early birthday!" She won't have her phone once she gets admitted, but there is a computer there that you can get on- at least there was last time I was there. Of course, she may not be admitted at the same hospital, too. And last time, her insurance said she had to leave- early, it seemed like. Poor C, too, because this is a lot for her to deal with but I am SOOO glad she is around! C is a wonderful, loving person who is here for thick and thin. Apparently, N1 is into marijuana and extra-relationship sex, etc. I really hope they can give her a diagnosis this time instead of just "transgender". (Which has it's own diagnosis code.) I was supposed to be having my yearly review for the bipolar study I'm in right now over the phone but they called and I rescheduled for tomorrow because C is still here and I have to deal with this more than I need to do the study stuff right now. It IS rescheduled for tomorrow. I don't want to miss it because after this I get paid for my year of filling out questionaires and this year-end appointment. So I'm worried about N1, but I know she's in good hands- at least if they keep her for a week or more that will make me happy.

ETA/Update:

We talked with N1 on the phone and she is still in the psych ER. Been there 15 hours and no sleep. But that's par for the course. She sounds better than i thought she would. C is bringing her a couple books- two books that have been in the back of their car for months that N1 hasn't gotten around to reading. They happen to be about transgender and are mine actually. I bought them just because I thought they looked interesting before I knew that N1 was transgender. C is getting her coffee from Starbucks and a video game machine (hand held one I assume) and a few other things. I am glad she and C have each other. C is such a nice person and a true friend and girlfriend! She keeps me in the loop which I like. Tomorrow is N1's 23rd birthday. We sent her a snapchat saying happy birthday and I love you. No news yet about where she is going to be staying.
