I can relate some too. My son is 25. I recently detailed his experiences under a thread titled "concerned parent".
He hasn't actually been diagnosed as bipolar but he certianly shows many signs. He quit his counseling, won't take medications but is scheduled to see an MD on Friday to rule out allergies or anything else.
He was living on his own and self medicating which created other issues.
Luckily for us he is living with us for now. So we can help guide him through some of this.
I can relate. This is very difficult and frustrating. Especially with no help or guidance from the professionals.
Hang in there.
