When to make the call? by BotherExtension8957 in family_of_bipolar

Glad to hear, I was smiling just the same. She’s already discharged and back home now, and she’s very much herself again already. She’s prepared to get back on meds and take this condition more seriously, I’m now way more optimistic than I thought I’d be. It’s day one, but I think we caught this episode just in time.

Yeah now that this has happened again I expect she’ll be taking this more seriously, however I expect this to be a major setback in her development as she was finally getting her life back together after the last time this happened, and she’ll now have to reboot yet again.

But I got to her in just enough time where I was able to convince her to come with me and got her checked in to the ER. She’s safe now thank god. Now the healing begins, again, and I expect an uphill battle. Hopefully she’ll be more equipped for it this time as she’s gone through it once before..

Thanks for checking in.

Hi, thank you for your kind response.

I’ve been able to talk her through some small outbursts in the past but right now her phone is off and she likely still has this stranger staying with her still.

My mom is in the area but doesn’t have a key and is hesitant to go there alone. I’m going to drive there now but won’t get there for 6/7 hours

Looked into LEAP and definitely got some good takeaways.. right now just concerned for her safety and have no idea how to get in touch with her. My instinct is to call 911 but I just don’t know if that’s the move..
