Red face

If she gets manic enough, fearful that she is a threat to herself or someone elses safety you can have the police bring her in for evaluation. that happened to me in Indiana...I was held for 3 days until I talked myself out of the institution...and readmitted again for 3 more days until the meds kicked in.
Does she have a therapist or a psychiatrist that you could call for support?
Since she is 18 you will have to wait this one out. just let her know that you love her and that she can come home when ever she needs to come home....
Send her a text message or email or facebook message.
I am very sorry that you are in this situation. Until she accepts her condition you will have to just see how this unfolds.
we are here to support you....use us to lean on.
Do you have other family support siblings etc to help give you support on that end? Waht does hubby say?
