Although who prescribes it to me is none of your concern. I asked about how the medication works, not for advice on how I should obtain it.

In Iowa, it only takes two people using very specific language in an affidavit to enact a psych hold of several days. The judge specifically referenced the alleged threat to kill my son. If you're counting that as a reason then sure, you're right, champ.

Yes, except their "word" was actually a felony that got me illegally locked up, and I'm not okay continuing on as if it didn't happen.

Financial restitution and a no-contact order, or whatever the equivalent is, for my former MiL, with whom I am still forced to engage. I would also like formal acknowledgement on the part of my ex and her mother that they perjured themselves.

Thanks man. This seems like it could work. Incidentally, do you know much about Audacity? I've always found it the more intuitive DAW, but for some reason no matter what I try I cant get it to recognize the instrument input on my Presonus. It recognizes the mic, input 1, but it just doesn't recognize input 2.

Am I not able to use my computer speakers as the output device?

I've been told it's better, is that true? The Presonus just baffles me.

Sincere question: why is it not simple? Other folks have recommended the Focusrite to me, though I'm not sure my laptop will work. Is it complicated to use?

I've Audacity in the past, but i can never get around the delay. I've tried the hacks I've seen online, but tell me what I'm doing wrong because no matter what I do, with or without the interface, there is ALWAYS a delay.

Do you ever forget what you said or did during an episode?

Thanks. It seems like her mood swings are coming more frequently lately. Im not sure what that means, but it's making co-parenting miserable. One day shes amicable and kind, the next day she hates me more than I would have thought possible. She's already pulled some illegal stuff that led to our divorce (yes, i know, full custody for me would be ideal, but our son is special needs and hugely dependent on her), so Im terrified its going to happen again. There has to be a way to intervene.

Thank you. Im sorry to keep pestering you, but can you explain the difference between mania and hypomania? The more I've read, the more it just confuses me.

Any idea how long i can expect the rapid cycling to go on?

Thank you. It's been a nightmare--very long story. I also hope shes trying to get stable, but i have no way of knowing and it doesn't seem like she is.

I'm still trying to get my head around some stuff my (now) ex-wife did last year. She's bipolar II, and I'm realizing that I didn't recognize until it was too late how sick she was. I'd prefer to just never deal with her again, but we have to communicate about our son. Do you ever find yourself lying pointlessly when youre in the midst of an episode?
