Mood Stabilizer For Post Menopausal Woman Not on HRT

My partner is early 50s, post menopausal and not on HRT.

She became an alcoholic during the 2020 lockdowns and now has alcohol-induced liver disease.

She's nice one day and a the next day, she snaps at everything.

She has been prescribed medication by her psychiatrist, but is aversive to taking medications.

Can someone please provide some advice or help?

Thanks in advance!

I'm assuming you have already talked to her about this? How did she respond?

Yes. She knows I'm easy-going, resilient and very accepting, therefore, it makes no difference to her whether she's foul or nice, or anywhere in between...

BTW, she is extremely NON-proactive regarding her health. I make all her appointments and escort her to all of them. And, yes, I accompany her in the exam room...

I'm sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you. I'll be honest, given your temperament and the things you do for her, you are in an enabling situation - meaning this will probably continue as long as you support her needs.

And therein lies the challenge. Can you begin to tell her that your support won't last forever, hopefully jump-starting some sort of cooperation?
