Bipolar Disorder Support Group
Bipolar disorder is not just a single disorder, but a category of mood disorders marked by periods of abnormally high energy and euphoria, often accompanied by bouts of clinical depression. This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
Anyone heard of this? It stands for Protection Of Vunerable Adults.
Has anyone had any experience of this? I've been told that if a certain situation arises at home. These forms will have to be filled out as I would be seen as a 'vunerable adult'.
Basically I live at home with my Mum and Brother and at the moment I guess the people at the hospital consider me under enough care because my Mum is there. But, due to a number of things:
1- her own depression arising
2- possible new bf moving in whilst he tried to get 'clean' from a heroin addiction
my therapist has said that if this happens, they will have to fill out these forms.
I don't understand what this will mean for me. I've tried asking but they are being pretty cagey about it all.
If this happens, are they basically saying that my Mum will no longer be allowed to be my carer? Like she's neglected me in some way? That's awful!!! I don't want them to do that!!! It would destroy her!

I find myself going places in the car and not wanting to get out of the car. I come back home and I don't want to get out of the car. I think it's the only time I spend reflecting. Chronic tiredness from Long Covid plus the immunosupressing meds for my Crohn's is slowing me down but everything just seems a massive effort. I am dealing with the paperwork following my father's death but it's not...

Wow, it's the middle of the week already!Today is our 11 year anniversary, so we're going out to a nice dinner. I'm losing a lot of sleep these days, hence a wonky schedule and uncomfortable feelings. But I know it will pass, eventually.I hope all of you have a peaceful day, and may good things come your way!
I saw a GP a while back and he went through "a new form" with me. I wasn't really listening as I had some major isues at the time.
It asked me questions like "do you think about suicide?"..I replied "no more than usual" and he just let it go. I think there were questions about my ability to look after myself. I think.
Maybe it's the same thing?
I've had those too, they are not the same thing.
Thanks anyway x
It was more about assessing how much of a risk I am in general terms. I think I was asked if I could look after myself, cook etc.
