Granny's gone and done it again

Dr. Google says a personality disorder is a type of mental illness.

Not bipolar though right ?

I think she did it to get SS. I believe she faked it. But she had to take the meds. and they IMO made her do things she never did before. Im not saying she didnt have a problem but it wasnt that one.

yes and the more meds they gave her the worse she got

Whoa, that's not good. It took about two years to find what worked best for me. Bipolar is a chemical imbalance in the brain, so when you start adding chemicals to the body to try to fix it, it's important to get it right, and it can be hard to do. Yeah, I got worse before I got better, so I lost my job, then I lost my home. Then I lost my mind, lol. Tough times! Took a long time to stabilize. I supported myself working as a live-in caregiver for disabled people. I was lucky, for the most part. I could have ended up dead under a bridge somewhere. But the Lord looked after me and I'm grateful. ❤

yes... no?

Dr. G says- Bipolar disorder, also known as manic depression, is a mental illness that brings severe high and low moods and changes in sleep, energy, thinking, and behavior.

Did she have extreme mood swings? Was she emotionally unstable? Did little things set her off, send her into a rage? Did she start projects and not finish them?

Oh trust me, if she convinced SS, then she really did have it. I could not get SS and I had letters from several doctors saying I had it. You cannot fool the SS people!

Im grateful it helped you too. My sister was not as fortunate

You could have no arms and no legs and be dying of cancer and SS will say you are not disabled!

I'm sorry she did not get the help she needed.
