Ugh...I haven't done much today at work, and still don't want to!

Well, I am thinking I am more then just a bit manic because I have already done most of the day-to-day stuff that needed to be done today LOL! (oh, and already run out and picked up lunch for a couple of us)

Thankfully, I am getting my Li AND Topamax tonight (or tomorrow if I at that guy's place too late)

I was REALLY crabby this morning (and can fly back off my broom at a moments notice) but Chris the Creep was up to his old tricks....he always seems to forget that my IQ really DOES exceed my age!

I'm going to make sure absolutely everything possible is done today so when the hag returns tomorrow she is mad at me :p

I agree! All the chocolate in my brownie seems to have killed my uglies :p

Maybe you should talk to your pdoc about trying ambien or something like that again. It has to be better then the seroquel. AND - make your "houseguests" leave. THAT will definitely help.

OMG - I asked my sister-in-law how the additional tests on my niece went and she informed me that SHE decided after reading the first chapter of The Biopolar Child that her daughter was NOT BP and they were just going to do the testing to see if they could determine what the problem is. ROFL! She barely graduated high school but she knows everything there is to know about BP from reading 1 chapter in a book.

BLAH! I am such a hag LOL!

Just talked to my dad...they are really worried about me relapsing, being under all the stress of my brother and his gf and kayli...so, they have to be out on Friday, at the latest.

Sweetie - this is going to be ugly, but here goes.

The absolutely very best thing you can do at this point (IMHO) for EVERYONE involved is to notify the police that your brother is at your house so they can pick him up. His GF and daughter will be ok. Beyond that, THEY are not your responsibility. I know we both have caretaker's disease, but you cannot save him or them. He is never going to be able to outrun the stupid things he does, nor should he.

ALSO- if they accidentally pick him up, I believe YOU could be charged for sheltering him. I KNOW you don't need any extra stress with me saying that, but I honestly think it is the best thing for everyone. Maybe it will straighten him out. If not, that STILL isn't your problem.

In fact, it REALLY ticks me off that your miserable sob of a brother would stoop so low as to dump his troubles on you like this when you are just finally stable.

If I were in your shoes, I would make the call. I also wouldn't tell anyone except Eric that I had done it. Let your parents think they just tracked him down.

You know me, I have to say what I think or I explode into trillion chubby little pieces. No matter what, I'm here for you to vent/cry/gripe to :)

I have thought the VERY same thing, but didn't have the heart to say it.
