Speaking of Nastassya (my N1). So she's in the process of (amicably) divorcing her husband (no regrets from me; of course, I won't say that). She's going for her PhD at a university in NYC, and will be teaching her first univ class this summer! Interesting topic...the class is about the long-term effects of social media on people's lives.
Nastassya has not communicated with me - it will be 4 years in November. I still have no reason as to why she has cut off communication. Anyway, all this - and 2 weeks ago she was diagnosed with bipolar 1. Pretty much pure mania. Her anxiety, since she was a child, has been severe. Extreme. Honestly, I've never known anyone with such vicious anxiety. And it's definitely an "energized" anxiety. Therapy (from ages 4 to high school) was helpful, but not astoundingly so.
When she was 11 her pediatrician prescribed an SSRI. She remained on that SSRI for 25 years. Now I'm thinking that it may have caused her mania to be worse. Unfortunately, she had a pdoc that was a di*k and negligent. Her pdoc in NY sounds like a good one; the diagnosis he's given her makes so much sense to me.
Although she has always excelled academically, her emotional life has never been healthy. Ragged. It has crossed my mind that her unwillingness to contact me/receive contact from me may have, maybe, to do with paranoia of some sort. Just a thought I have.

As you know, I think your daughter’s name is beautiful. You must be so proud of her! Working on her PhD and teaching a university class! Wow! Huge! I hope that sometime soon communication will start up again between the two of you.
