Hi Waves,
I knew I would hear from you as soon as I put the word out. So glad you are sounding so much better. Stable. I was worried about you girl. I pray for you every night as well as for all of us that are on neurotalk. Good job on the improvement!
Well, my friend is in jail so I figure they will transfer her to a rehab program. Probably the salvation army. The problem is that she has been to that program before for six months inpatient and been to many other rehab programs. She just got three DUI's and I know she already had a bunch of them so I fear that she may be looking at serious jail time. In her case this may be her only hope. If they keep her in jail long enough and put her on meds maybe she will have enough time to get some recovery. I feel terrible about her being in jail but she will be homeless if they let her out. Her parents said she could not come back there. As bad as jail is at least she is not being taken advantage of sexually too. I don't know if that is some sort of compulsive thing and she justifies it later or what. I have noticed that I don't think she can read. Or at least she can barely read. I think she is dyslexic and misses much of what is being said when she reads. She understands it wrong. I noticed it when I went to a few AA meetings with her just to give her support. Do you guys have problems with reading? Like you are only getting bits of the information? Maybe that is from her being wasted on drugs and alcohol I don't know. Does anyone know if I could help her start a disability claim while she is in jail? Like I said, I have seen a lot of people granted disability for bi-polar and she is an extreme case. She lies a lot, even to me someone she knows is not judging her and has only ever given support and help. Is that something that is a symptom of bi-polar? If anyone has any ideas let me know as I fear for her life if she is let out of jail and if she is kept she needs a plan to come back to. Like money from disability and a program with a psychiatrist and medications. She has been a battered woman also. Her husband beat her and she has PTSD I think from that trauma. If anyone knows of any programs or advise that would be most appreciated. We live in Salt Lake City, Ut.
Thanks guys. Lots of love to you all. Hope everyone had a good day. Get some good sleep tonight.
