the nice me would say: just support her, maybe help her find a new pdoc. listen and don't compare illnesses as everyone seems to present a little differently.
NOW, that said, the paranoid untrusting part of me screams: be polite but keep your distance. Not so much for what she is doing, but more importantly how her actions/reactions will effect You.
you sound like you are keeping things together at least now. Great for you And your child(ren).
But having someone that is unstable (enough to be wanting to switch up several meds) could effect your health, especially anxiety (which in my experience exasperates my depression).and to be honest, i don't get the bit about 'trained herself not to stay in bed"like you while going through some of my Tough depression days, i was constantly getting yelled at by boss and job threatened due to my lateness, or absences.
I was/am working full time and was extremely lucky to in the end have an understanding boss. However, that said. It is a great habit to get yourself intoif you can.all in all. i'd say be nice, but careful and maybe keep some distance, dont share too many personal items.
feel free to share them here though.
Good Luck
