Mom of a bipolar adult child
Hi everyone, I’m new here. I’m looking for support from parents with children who have bipolar. My daughter was diagnosed last year at 21 with bipolar, an unspecified personality disorder, ocd, depression and anxiety. She’s currently on meds but lately she’s been unbearable. I have a 20 year old son who still lives at home. She’s angry that he lives home and does everything she can to make him as miserable as possible. It’s impossible to live with her. She can’t keep friends, relationships or jobs. She’s in the process of trying to get disability and I’m trying to find her safe housing cause she says she hates living where we live. She’s tried to get us evicted cause she wants me to move us from where we are. I’ve tried explaining we can’t afford that but that just angers her and triggers her mania which turns into an episode and that can last for a long time. I’m looking for any support, I don’t know how to deal with her anymore. My son was home for a little while yesterday and she was so mad she didn’t get her “alone time” that she urinated into a cup and threw it all over his truck. She purposely waits till he comes home from work to shower and spends a long time in the bathroom. She’ll vacuum in the middle of the night even though I’ve told her not to do that. Her response every time is I don’t care. I don’t know what to do anymore. There is no reasoning with her. I’ve tried talking to her but she just ends up getting mad. She’s broken all my kitchen chairs. I’ve had to remove the hammer cause she’s busted my son’s door. She gets mad when we come home, she gets really mad anytime we use the bathroom, it’s almost like the bathroom is a sacred room to her. No one around me gets this, I’m so stressed out. I just don’t know how to deal with her anymore.

I am so sorry you are going through this sounds like she needs to go live somewhere else like you said...
this is escalated enough for it to turn violent or i am sure destruction of property...... is there ways to commit her to in- patient treatment in your area?
