Another pattern is on the four meds she didn't take ( venlafaxine, prescribed 60 and 64 was found) Elisa Lam checked in to the hotel on Jan 26th and was missing on the 31st. That is a close proximity of 4 days/5 days. She was really only taking that prescription like she should have been- but I would think one pill couldn't be taken alone?
That's a short time ( 4 days) for a trip, her behavior on the elevator was really super fast for over-reacting-- so everything in this story is in short time span. and or time frame.
No one really knows what the trip was about, except "spur-of-the-moment" for Elisa Lam. She wasn't listed in classes. It's still a tragedy- none the less.

[CENTER]school has started and I do not have time to think
it doesn't help that I can't think for the matter
I took a long unaccounted for break from school
my brain has been sluggish from march until now
Half a year down the drain where I did not do anything productive nor learn anything worth knowing
now it seems my most prized organ no longer works the way it once did
and I feel sluggish all day
sleepy, mopey and tired
unable to concentrate too
I can't write properly
nor can I think of the appropriate words without pausing for a few moments
what once came naturally is now beyond hard to grasp
It is incredibly difficult to even remember what I did yesterday
let alone try to remember what was covered in a class
to say the least I won't be able to put together a proper post for a while then again who cares whether or not it makes any sense

Good finds flute:
So sad; wonder if she cut back meds to control side effects (above mentioned in her blog), or even cost?

I don't know, but this writing was around three years before her death. A regular MD can do wonders and can also act like a referral to get someone in pretty quick to a psychiatrists office. A general practitioner is generally covered under insurance
I also noticed that some of her writing never mentions a sudden "crush" or "boys" or "crush on boys" or anything. ( I haven't read all of it though)
It's a pretty heavy duty realization for a Sunday. ( today) Sheesh...
An M.D. would have admitted her three years before her death ( I think)
Here it is on her blog.. She was familiar with family doctors then, so she was covered. Ether Fields

[CENTER]I've been having headaches for the past two days and my vision shakes when I stand.
I'm not sure if it's vertigo but definitely do not feel stable even when sitting.
It also gets hard to focus at time. I can't seem to process the whole scene, almost like tunnel-vision on a hand-held camera.
If only family doctors worked on Sunday.
I don't see why a few can't decide to work weekends and close on other days of the week.
Sickness doesn't take a day off and even pharmacists are available 7 days a week.
Oh well, nothing I can do unless I feel like going to the hospital (no way)
On to matters less related to reality....

How sad. She must have had Bipolar I, as opposed to the less severe Bipolar II.

An MD who is not aware of the situation can't do anything at all. But ANY friend, relative, co-worker, etc. who IS aware of the situation can get her straight to an ER for an emergency evaluation. If she refuses to go, you need to take matters into your own hands, call the police or whoever and petition her in. You could be saving the person's life. If it happens often enough, the person can be put under court-ordered treatment; if they don't follow through they go straight back to the hospital.
I want to add that there is a dire shortage of psychiatrists in this country. I don't know if there is ANY quick way of getting someone "quickly" into a psychiatrist's office. The shortest wait these days to get into an outpatient office is 4 months plus...IF you're lucky. Again, if you need psychiatry quickly, you need to find a way to check yourself into a psych ward, and those beds are really scarce -- usually for life-threatening emergencies only. It's not like the old days when anyone could just sign himself in for as long as he needed.
