Hey, reccos. I am bipolar and I was beyond out of control. How long has she been on the medication? Your W sounds a lot like me when I was undiagnosed actually. It's not a fun place to be.
And it's not really fun for her either. I'm not asking you to pity her. But maybe I can help you get inside her head.
My mind was always moving a million miles an hour; it never let up. I could never get to sleep because my mind would run in circles. I could distinguish between right and wrong usually but not why it should matter. I avoided looking at all that I wasn't doing (i.e. - around the house, with my children, with my life) because it brought on the depression. When you're manic you'll do anything to stay up; when you're depressed you think you'll never be up again.
I lost myself my personality, my goals, my identity to a disorder that just plain sucks. But I got better. Not cured. We are never cured; for heaven's sake get help immediately if she decides that and goes off the meds! It's extremely dangerous. But I got better. I am me again, in ways that I haven't been for a very long time. And in some ways I never was before. I hope that gives you a bit of insight, and maybe a ray of hope too.
Oh, and the FB games - they require no mind power. It is soothing to just sit and veg out when your brain torments you all day. Doesn't mean she should sit there and do it all the time. But it is calming to escape the madness into silly, mindless nonesense.
