[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 352040"] Can you ask if they have individual appointments? Our local university will do individuals for $35 intake and then $20 a session. Think about it...when someone is depressed, it is not a good feeling. Sometimes a person is lethargic, and this makes them not want to go to therapy. But often what happens is that they are so desperate for the feeling to improve that they will try anything to stop the pain. With other disorders...I suspect it is different. You might try asking her what the harm is in trying individual therapy sessions for at least a few sessions to check it out if you can find it at a reasonable cost. [B]>[/B]The doctor prescribing her medicine should know that she is worried about being bipolar, has talked about (even if it doesn't seem serious at times) suicide and has threatened to sell her medication. These things are all very important! Bottom line...as best as you are able...I would help her get good medical/psychological care, set up some firm boundaries in your home, proceed with the eviction and protect your own good mental health. Again, I'm so very sorry...this has got to be a horrible let down...very draining, conflicting and hearbreaking. Sending good thoughts for strength and wisdom. [/QUOTE]
