Oh my, that sounds like my house! I didn't think my daughter was bipolar, but the shrink did. Her psychologist didn't really agree with the shrink, and he wanted her to take the MMPI test to see what was going on in her head. WOA! He found out! I was shocked and so was he. He had no idea this sweet girl that sat in his office was the girl that took this test. She actually fooled her former psychologist for one and one half years, which is why we are with this new guy. (who is brilliant) He told me things about her, and described her as if he had lived with her for 16 years. He was dead on. She has a lot of anger and low-self esteem coming from somewhere. To look at her you would think she has everything, and that's where it drives me crazy worrying "why". She is studying more these days, since starting the adderall, and I hope it continues. Like your daughter, she has lost a few friends, and has not yet realized it's because of her mouth. We have tried to tell her, but she doesn't hear us when we speak. It's almost as if we speak Chinese, and she doesn't. It's nice to hear that things are better between you and your daughter, and I hope that it happens that way for us. Thanks for your advice. -L
