Friday

Catch up entry

Friday early, early a.m., M apparently talked near-suicidal stuff with the boy in AZ, and HE called the Sheriff dept here to check on her.

The deputies showed up while she was on the phone with her sis, whom earlier in the conversation, had also been treated to suicidal talk (sis was quite upset).

Meanwhile, after M successfully dealt with the deputies and sent them away -- she continued to leave troubled / troubling voicemails for me through the mid-day -- approaching suicidal in tone and message.

SOOO, I ended up by mid-p.m. at Community Mental Health and at court to pursue an order(s) regarding a "Person Requiring Treatment" as well as a supplemental order for the immediate situation to have law enforcement take M into protective custody and to CMH for immediate assessment.

Of course, the trouble with doing that with a BPD person, esp. one so high functioning as M, is that once the alcohol and/or drugs are out of the system, they present really well.

She was picked up by about 7:30p, and returned home by 2:20 a.m.

But, the break gave me an opportunity to pack up more clothes and other precious items, as well as to locate the various items she had appropriated -- including the checks she stole while dysphoric and acting out.

The whole thing, by Saturday into the day, did a lot to turn her thinking around for awhile, as we ended up with lots of talk and being quite cordial through Sat p.m. and evening. Right down to having some great break-up sex.
