Thanks once again to everybody for your kind words and support.
She has been seeing a psychologist in Bowral (for those of you who are local
) and he gave her details on site called BlackDog where she has done a mental health assessment. She has just texted me with the results for that and it has shown she is bi-polar (one of the conditions I thought she may have). Something like this can be treated and managed quite effectively so there is hope for her and us yet.
On the subject of being comfortable with counsellors/health professionals, she has been to a number of them over the years and has a sense for who she is comfortable, thankfully it's the gentleman she is seeing in Bowral who she feels very comfortable with.
At least now there is some direction as to what lies ahead, now I know what we are dealing with I can take steps to make the most of the treatment.
From the bottom of my heart, thanks again gang, this pocket of webspace known as Ice In Space holds far more than astronomical information
