There are no medication changes this week, Molly has managed two days out of bed and has been slightly less negative but after a good day comes the bad when she is, it appears back to square one. Molly has cried more this week 😢 the CLD nurse also witnessed this yesterday. (She could be…

‘If a person isn’t treated, episodes of bipolar-related mania can last for between three and six months. Episodes of depression tend to last longer, for between six and 12 months. However, with effective treatment, episodes usually improve within about three months’. Just read the above and thought, ok I really need to see a way…

Update: Just keeping track…. To me from me C x

I am feeling like enough is enough tonight, nothing any of us do can shift Mollys resistance to getting up… if that is what is presenting. Nothing I did or said or didn’t do or say changed the low mood today. A visit from a family friend broke the negativism for a while, Molly laughed…

Tracey B Today a special friend would have been 64 but sadly we lost her way way too soon 3 years ago. I still have the baby blanket she bought for Molly 27 years ago and when I went to see Molly tonight she was in her bed resting with a different blanket Tracey also…

She did accept personal care this morning and has eaten well today. Although she did well yesterday and was engaged throughout the day, days like that are very few, maybe as…

And just like that Molly Prince only went and got up today AND had pancakes at Foxes cafe!!! “Are you joking me” was my response, hey, I don’t know what tomorrow will bring but just for today HALLELUJAH I am rejoicing and wanted to post. Short but very sweet ❤️ Will update soon as I…

I had a moment this week, the realisation that Mollys recovery is a long road; hit me. The increase in lorazepam hasn’t helped so far, the lamotrigine has been reduced, the titration needed to be slowed down. I have to trust this process and more importantly be there for Molly, it must be so awful…

Agreed to increase lorazepam to 3mg am starting tomorrow to be reviewed in one week.
