Went to check on her and she was still off the wall...then she started telling me that the Police Dept was in on it...I said OK...I want to talk to THEM...she said OK LETS GO.
I thanked God because there was no way I was going to talk her into hospital but I knew if I could get her out of the apartment the police would see she needed help. Accomplished. Got to police station at 1030am...left there at 2pm for hospital. It took so long because they were calling in a police officer from the street duty that had experience with her in the past and was the only one she talked to. She's so mad at me...I'm so relieved...I will go visit tommorow and bring her something comfortable to wear and hope that she is in better shape.. I put this on this page because I started the topic here...and also...I was told today by MY therapist than anyone on Bipolar should really not be given Adderrall if they truly have bipolar because this is exactly what can happen to someone else with Bipolar on Adderrall..my therapist said that is well known in the psyche community. She developed a psychosis.

It sounds like a very rough and exhausting day. I'm glad that you were able to get her admitted.

Thank you reb...now I can't find her..lol.
Cause she was so mad at me...she did not give permission for me to know anything. She is not at the hospital I brought her too and I have a feeling they transferred her to the hospital in our area that specializes in mental health only....but of course cause of HIPPA they won't tell me where she is. So, I have to wait till tommorow cause today is a holiday to talk to her case worker..who does not have permission to tell me stuff but she does anyway..LOL.

I'm sorry. I've been through a lot with my daughter too with her hospitalizations.

I'm so glad she got some help. Maybe tomorrow or the next few days as she gets better she will talk to you.

I don't know how the hospital did not keep her...but the lame counselor called me today to basically ask me if I could go to her house and care for her! Joking? She makes no frigin sense...I asked if they were weaning her from Adderall...answer: NO...because her DR is on VACATION?
I flipped out...and said...so there is no covering Dr. to wean her so your just going to let her go deeper into psychosis? They told me to call the "team leader"...I did and left the same message with her..GET MY SISTER OFF THAT DRUG AND I DONT CARE HOW. I have no return phone call.

I swear some people have no common sense. Long ago I knew someone at a apartment who was schizophrenic and was deteriorating. I tried to get help for her. She would stop by my apartment to get water cause hers was poisoned. She wasn't eating cause of poison. One night she threw her furniture over the railing into the pool cause it was watching her and still I couldn't get the police to take her to the hospital......they said she wasn't a danger to herself or others? She wasn't in touch with reality and wasn't eating, only my water and food was safe. I called the police, her social worker, the hospital and nothing! When they finally hospitalized her she was so sick physicality from not caring for herself she was there for a long time and she was jaundiced.

Another failure of the system. So frustrating.

Laurie, reb nammu....thank you all for being here.
It helps that someone hears me and understands the frustration.
