So you all know that i am not well these days. struggling everyday.
ive been talking with my niece last night and today. she's having boyfriend trouble. 23 years old. been on stimulant in past but had to be on AD along with it.
both last night and tonight she mentioned how crappy her life is and how she should just 'end it'.
**********************
to me, i am hypervigilant and ready to take her in...
but i know that this age with these issues it could just be words...fantasy of death ending pain (as we all do at a point)at what point do i intervene and have her see a doctor?
i've been trying to tell her, once she says things, i counter it with the dull phrases i've heard over the years. and try to keep her talking. but then she changes the subject.and what kind of intervention should i try? 1800 numbers? doctors office?
she has no insurance and wont go see a pdoc as i've suggested in the past.
but i dont know that she even really needs that as it is based on her relationship issues.i'm just in such a bad place right now i dont even know how to respond...except i want to say stop talking about it because its sounding better and better to me...
