How would I know the effort level of every manic depressant has always been poor. My 2nd paragraph mentioning 30 years, etc are pretty distinct descriptions for someone to assume I broad brushed an entire population.
People get defensive about it if others challenge aspects of the disease. I get that. I just speak my mind though. It takes me to suggest getting dressed at 3 pm and what do you know, it happens. I shouldn't have to even suggest it. And she knows it.

I understood it Sparty, but it could have easily been generalized by some, and I understand that as well. "Perception is reality".

Having a manic depressant come visit a lively and happy home is ******* depressing.

I feel for people that try to be around to help people with the disease.
However, just as I tell my kids in everything they do, its about effort. Maybe it is a disease, but the effort sucks. Always has. Popping the same depressant pills for 30 years that basically make you a zombie isn't effort. It's a cop out. Saying you can't make effort baffles me. There are many, many people that struggle daily, but give great effort.

Sorry for the rant. I needed to get that off my chest so I can enjoy this wonderful day outside and around the house.

And you can bust my balls about it too. I'm not going to go in the my room for the next 18 hours and cry.

Preaching to the choir dood. I have that 24-7-365 with the MIL. The wife and I have to steal away on some weekends so we don't kill each other.
Plus I never get a thank you for supplying her with the means to survive and a place to live. Fat, lazy, *itchy watches TV 18 hours a day.:banghead2:

Someone on here once said something about withholding judgement because we never know the daily battles someone else is fighting. It's taken me 4 rough years of marriage to finally get that message through my thick skull.
I know that you have personal experience with this person and I can't speak to that, I hate laziness also, but true mental illness in all of it's infinite forms is nothing to take lightly and is often not diagnosed correctly or very soon.
Not criticizing just commenting on a rush to judgement we all make a lot of the time.

I know. This has been an issue since I was little. Obviously, it bothers me and I may not be able to be as objective. That said, if you can get dressed at 3 in the afternoon, you can get dressed sometime in the previous 6 hours, imo. And overmedicated is an understatement. Xanax, antidepressants, hormonal pills. Whenever there is discomfort, just pop a few and pass out. That's a copout response, imo, that cannot be 100% blamed on mental illness.
