6. Basically, that is what the doc told her today-

Feb 2012

He told her because she takes hikes, rides a bike yada, yada,
the weight gain could be managed.

We've been though SO many drugs, all of them "fails."
It is SO frustrating and the disappointment mounts each time
a new drug fails...
I sort of had a total breakdown/meltdown the other night because
I feel so helpless to help her.

She has agreed to try Depakote for ten days, so we'll see.

Give your G/F a hug from me, will you?
She is fortunate to have a supportive B/F like you!
My daughter is very lonely right now, no B/F, not much contact with her friends-
she doesn't drive and neither do they and public transit in LA is a joke.

So for now, I am her comforter- I just wish she felt more
like reaching out to her friends right now, although sometimes
I am concerned because they tell her, "You are strong, you don't need medication..."
I no longer know if she does or doesn't.
Nothing seems to help her, that's for sure.
