on yesterday's Trump rant.
I have a brother who is bi-polar and has been off his meds for over six months. Talking to him on the phone is just like this Trump rant from yesterday's Fox and Friends show.
He gets on the phone with some introductory issue, and then he gets on a jag with many many digressions, until it takes him a half hour to get anything said. ( I usually put him on speaker and go about my business). You can't say anything back unless you forcefully interrupt his train of "thought". He has no control and gets more and more excited. The same with things he is trying to get done: constantly distracted by other things, spinning his wheels, using bad judgement.
He is very full of himself, is absolutely certain that he is right and everyone else wrong. Seems to be having a great time, but of course is engaging in self destructive behavior like spending too much money and hanging out with questionable people.
He was on lithium for over 25 years and did fine. But somehow started taking too much because of changing age or weight or something. He's in his early 60s. At the hospital they told him to adjust his dose to half. But he has decided that lithium almost killed him and wants/needs no more meds. Well being off his meds is more likely to do him harm, with his lack of impulse control and confused thinking. And nobody can tell him anything. We are planning an intervention by something called Adult Protective Services.
Wonder if they also do house calls at the White House?
