Mania Confirmed

Unfortunately, Caroline is showing signs of being very manic, which looks like extreme belligerence, physical aggression, taunting, laughing in a sinister sort of way, stealing money from her sisters, grandiose self-centered thinking, and this weird devil-may-care attitude about anything.  "I am just showing you my dark side," she boasted, as if quite proud of her rebellious mood.  We are not sure what exactly may be going on with her chemically, except that I did just introduce high potency flax seed oil pills to help with her cholesterol.  She had a bad reaction to fish oil, also inducing mania, so maybe she just can't take high doses of Omega 3 and 6.  We were almost ready to take her to the hospital because she was so out of control.  I could feel Bill's despair.  Watching her in this state just tears at your heart.  She can't see that how she is acting is abnormal.  With Bill's dad still in the hospital, coming several times close to death, I can tell he is very weary and has just about had it dealing with Caroline.
