Thank you breakaway. It sounds like you have some experience with bi-polar. I have not talked to the psych, I have not been invited to the sessions nor have I asked to join. But I listen to what W has told me about them. She admits to being vague about the OM in the psych sessions. I think she is embarrassed as she knew and respected the psych from work before seeing him as a patient.
The MC originally thought that she might have borderline tendencies, but the psyche disagreed and said she was bi-polar 2. The psyche said he would have recognized borderline tendencies when she worked with him. The MC now agrees with the bi-polar diagnosis, but I think he still believes she has borderline tendencies. She has Post Traumatic Stress Disorder from a violent family incident when she was 9 and her sexual-assault at 17 which contributes to the mental problems. She has not had an easy life to say the least.
I know that the "Snake" has great persuassion on her. I know that she has repeated things he has said verbatim. For example, "I know where I need to go (meaning seperation), I am just afraid to get there." She said that in a MC session once. Later, I found an e-mail of him saying almost the exact same thing to her.
Where do I go to get professional help? May I ask to join her at her psych appointment next week? Do I call another psych and set up an appointment for myself? I am at a loss here.
