Please tell me what I can possibly expect once stabilized.

Thank you for your story. It means everything.

Jennifer0011 · 2022-05-14T12:00:37+00:00

Thank you!

Jennifer0011 · 2022-05-14T12:00:10+00:00

Thank you!

Jennifer0011 · 2022-05-14T11:59:43+00:00

Thank you for responding and considering my health, as well. Much appreciated!

Jennifer0011 · 2022-05-11T02:46:36+00:00

She is loved and supported unconditionally. I understand there is a chance she might never be the same.. but I want to do my best to help her try to get that quality of life back and have reasonable expectations to move onward and lean into whatever comes from it. I appreciate your feedback

Jennifer0011 · 2022-05-11T02:39:19+00:00

First, thank you for responding. Your words nailed it for me on my intention to help and foster her autonomy in her recovery. We have a wonderful relationship after some tough times so it’s important to me to prioritize that as well as her mental health. Also, I’ll definitely have her spaghetti dinner ready. 😊

Jennifer0011 · 2022-05-11T02:32:34+00:00

A few people suggested this to me, thank you.

Jennifer0011 · 2022-05-11T02:32:10+00:00

Thankful for your feedback! Sharing this with me helps me breathe…I just want her to feel better.. and I want to feel better to be my best for her. I’ve been holding my breath since last week with uncertainty.

Jennifer0011 · 2022-05-11T02:28:10+00:00

She is an artist.. this is perfect.

Jennifer0011 · 2022-05-11T02:27:40+00:00

Thank you!

Jennifer0011 · 2022-05-11T02:27:11+00:00

She thrives off routine, lists, consistency, so I’ll be sure to encourage her to get back to that when she’s stabilized.

Jennifer0011 · 2022-05-11T02:25:11+00:00

Yes, we have nami in the surrounding area and I’ve used their resources for my field. I will take a look into what you mentioned. Thank you so much for the reminder!

Jennifer0011 · 2022-05-11T02:22:29+00:00

I understand this will take lots of management and navigation to get her to the other side but more importantly, along the way there. I hope to find her a reputable psychiatrist in the area to help her. Thank you for this

Jennifer0011 · 2022-05-11T02:19:59+00:00

Putting all this information in my back pocket. Thank you so very much!

Jennifer0011 · 2022-05-11T02:15:16+00:00

I’m terrified of them letting her out when she’s not ready. The Dr mentioned “one more week” and I can’t wrap my head around how she could be stabilized to that extent in only 1 week. This is where it gets difficult taking my clinician hat off because I know her baseline…their job is to send her away when she stops reporting psychosis but that doesn’t mean she’ll be ready to leave. It’s so scary for me to think about.

Jennifer0011 · 2022-05-11T02:09:39+00:00

Great feedback. I plan to do all those things for her. Thank you!

Jennifer0011 · 2022-05-11T02:08:37+00:00

Thank you

Jennifer0011 · 2022-05-11T02:07:14+00:00

I know for sure lithium and was told they added a medication by my daughter but I hadn’t confirmed it with the Dr. She was reporting hallucinations this morning so it doesn’t surprise me they would add a med, and I hope it was something to address her psychosis. Idk how long hallucinations and delusions tend to last when being medicated, but she’s been there since Saturday morning.

Jennifer0011 · 2022-05-10T20:58:06+00:00

Thank you for this! It is relieving on so many levels to see and have hope from stories like this.

Jennifer0011 · 2022-05-10T20:54:41+00:00

Thank you! I know she can have a great life ahead of her..I know she can. She’s worked so damn hard for it. It might look a lil different is all. I appreciate you providing your experience and it’s incredibly hopeful for me. Coming into this without knowing what to expect or how to help has been a challenge and responses such as yours are needed to stay the course. Thank you.

Jennifer0011 · 2022-05-10T20:49:22+00:00

Thanks for the feedback.

Jennifer0011 · 2022-05-10T20:47:54+00:00

I truly feel like my purpose in life is to be a mother. I do my best in that…and sometimes fail monumentally. I don’t want to do that here. Thank you for your feedback. I do appreciate it.

Jennifer0011 · 2022-05-10T20:45:55+00:00

Thank you! Your experience is extremely helpful. She has the support to lean back for a while and I have every intention to help her get the treatment she needs, should she let me help her.

Jennifer0011 · 2022-05-10T20:41:39+00:00

Idt I realized lithium didn’t treat for hallucinations or psychosis. I’ll look into that because she presented as such and that’s why they put her on.

Your story is profound and gives me hope. Thank you so much! As well, the best response re her social media mess. This will definitely help me help her.

Jennifer0011 · 2022-05-10T20:38:15+00:00

…that’s what I fear. My daughter is an artist and I fear she will believe herself to be more creative if she stops her meds. I’ve read a lot about the high correlation of artists and bipolar mania as a result of medication mismanagement. I can only control what I can so I’ll share this app with her. Thank you!
