| bipolar daughter with panic attacks
hi. I am writing to ask to share help and experience with me on the subject of mental health. I am sober, single mom. My daughter, 25, lives away from home, but is now with me. We live on opposite coasts, but are very loving and close. We have a good relationship and communicate openly. Her father is an active A, has untreated BiPolar and his entire family also suffers. On my side, there are cases of alcoholism and same, BPD.
My daughhter is against drugs, she lives very clean and eats well, takes the best care of herslf as she can but I see she is needing something else. After about 4 good days her pattern is to meltdown, become teary, then it accelerates into full blown panic. She fears she is dying, and then she begins to make travel plans since she feels she is in a haunted house or the wrong coast, or you name it: its an external cause according to her. Right now, she is on her 6th swing back from West Coast to east Coast.
She has zero money, and she is getting on a train (she is unable to fly) BACK to Washingto state where she is moving in to a cottage in a rural town that she has never been to, with people she does not know that she found on Craigs list. She does not have a drivers license ( more anxiety rtelated choices and limitations) so she will not be mobile. I am super worried but i work my spiritual faith over this, yet, I needc to hear from all of you with your asdvice. I cannot stop her, buty I keep offering her support, and love. We hug all the time, and the channels are open between us, except when it comes to going to a doctor and or meds.
Help. please.
Thanks! MC
