Not sure what I have

[Guzzard]

I am sorry you are here. It sounds like a very difficult position to be in. This is a great place for support and advice. I think your best course of action is to take the focus off of her (and her mental health) and focus on you--180, GAL, and detachment.

I have an adult daughter that is Bipolar and still lives at home. Many of the statements by KGuy do not apply to her and I do not agree with them based on my research. I actually find some of it offensive. If you want to learn more about Bipolar disorder, please make sure you know where to look and please use caution when sharing what you have learned with others.

Thank you for the reply, Blu. I am trying to keep the focus on me and the 180, detaching, and GAL.

I mean no offense, but since BD, I have met a number of people with bipolar disorder and I guess the message they gave me was that bipolar disorder affects each person differently. Each person with bipolar disorder has different levels of impact, of coping skills, of treatment effectiveness, of support networks, of home environment, etc. So no matter what I read, I understand the source and I also understand that doesn't necessarily mean everyone with bipolar disorder always does or doesn't do certain things, behaviors, etc.
