last night

Got worse and worse. Apparently the trigger for her mania was that I either came home too early, so as she wasn't asleep to avoid me yet, OR I waited too long after getting home to go upstairs and greet her and be friendly.

Yet another suicide attempt. Tried to freeze herself to death in below zero wind chills temps. I found her after she made a point of coming to me at 3:30 or so in the a.m. to say goodbye. I got dressed. Got the phone and prepared to call 911 for a Person Requiring Treatment.... Found her on the deck and calmly gave her a count of 10 to get in the house or have 911 called.

She complied. On 9.

Yapped at me a while. Eventually went to bed, but somewhat regretful she hadn't been allowed to freeze to death.... etc, etc....

Blaming me all the while for "driving her away" "driving her to this" and so on..... was still pretty prickly when I got home later in the day.
