I'm posting this here because I can't really say these things in real life.
I won't be saying this to my friend, I'm just using mumsnet as a place to say it. So please no hate or judgement.
I have a long term friend with complex mental health issues. She's had several hospital admissions and is on medication.
When she takes her medication and engages with treatment she is very stable, but then she gets happy and stops her medication which leads to a crisis.
She's just tipped into another one and tbh I'm getting exhausted by it. I know she's struggling with a huge demon and this isn't her fault, but here we are again. Her last crisis was just over a year ago and I ended up calling an ambulance to get her to safety.
This time I think it has been caught before it's got too serious but I'm rearranging my day tomorrow and sourcing some extra childcare so that she's not alone until she get access the professional help.
Anyway, no point to this just that I'm exhausted by it and I'm sure she is too.
