Well its been a thrilling last couple of days... when someone with bipolar doesn't take their medicine.
My husband got up the other night (he works the night shift) in a very bad mood. My daughter was spending the night with the mil and going to a day trip with church - her friend was also spending the night with her. I was in the kitchen when my husband called down to his mothers and told her to tell our daughter to get home she was grounded. She was in the shower at the time. Do you know the reason he was grounding her........are you ready......she did not wipe off the table!!!! Can you believe this!!!! I normally don't say anything when he is like this. If you ever been around a bipolar person you will know what I am talking about. So I asked him when she got back was she really grounded he said yes - well I turned and took her back to her grandmothers! I still can't believe I did it. But I stood up to him. Was I right in doing this? He asked me later if she was down their and was going on the day trip - I said yes! Never said anything else about it again. Then I did notice him taking his medicine again. I guess he realized he was being a big JERK!!!!
It is so much fun - never know what one day to the next will be like!!!!!
Til later

Hey there! I have had some experience with a man with bipolar...it wasnt pleasant most of the time, you never knew what to expect-every day he was a different person! He finally got on meds but didn't continue to take them...they need to realize it is a disease that effects EVERYONE around them- not just them!
Keep your chin up!

Oh, wow! I can't even imagine . . . maybe I had better not go any further with that comment. My wife is a RN Psychiatric Specialist and deals in adolescent behavior every day. I've heard her mention incidents of this nature. Yeah, jenni is right. You are really going to have to keep your chin up.
