Damn, Tech!

I hope things aren’t as dire as your posts from 6-7 hours ago indicated they might be.

It's rough.

She's in ICU again.

She will be going to an inpatient facility when she physically able. I just hope that we can figure out what is triggering this considering how long it had been since she had a serious issue.

I realize this will be a lifelong struggle, but we always hope that she can have as good a life as possible.

Rough. So sorry that she is going through this. So sorry that you are as well. Please keep us updated as I will be praying for you and your family.
 
So very sorry you are having to go through this and I hope your daughter can eventually find the right combination of meds and therapy. It's so hard to figure out. Do your best to stay strong for her because I know I would be catatonic in your shoes.

Wishing you and your family the best.

If I could do anything, I would.
 
It turns out that it wasn't as bad as the last time.

She will be sent to an inpatient facility. I really hope that we get some new ideas and can figure out the cause of these episodes so we can work to avoid them in the future. I really wish that we knew what questions to ask or what test to ask them to run that might bring new light to her situation.

She seemed like her normal self today, but that doesn't explain her actions Sunday morning.

Keep on keeping on, Tech! You, your family, and especially your daughter have been on quite the path for years.

I wish I had a magic wand.

I’m glad that this episode seems to have come to a decent end, though I do hope that your daughter, your fam, and doctors can all find a viable long-term solution. I can’t imagine what it must be like to live with this for years.

Good luck, Tech. You’re in my thoughts.

I'm so sorry that you have to go through this. Unfortunately with mental health it can be challenging to differentiate between bipolar disorder, substance use, borderline personality disorder, PTSD, ADHD, etc. And many times medication trials fail and/or patients become non-compliant due to side effects. I can only hope that something works for her and that she finds a way through this difficult chapter in her life.

I do agree. We have found limited success in different approaches but they have all been temporary. We keep pushing forward with the hope that we figure it out. I doubt there will ever be a fix, but maintenance that provides a quality of life if hopefully obtainable.

I also have concerns that we are going to fall behind in studying mental health due to the current administration's approach to science.

Sending love and hugs. I'm so sorry to hear you're going through this again. I very much understand the feeling of powerlessness when dealing with mental illness with a family member.
 
I just saw that this thread had been bumped and why.

Tech, I’m so sorry that your daughter and your family is going through this again. I really, really hope for the best for all of you and that y’all are able to find something that works for an extended period of time.

That powerlessness is horrible. All anyone wants to do is protect and take care of their children, when you can't it is really hard.

We are so fortunate to have great people in our lives who are supportive.

I've received so much support over the years from the Carolina family, it has been such a blessing to have that in the hard times.
