Queen of Hearts
kt arrived home from school yesterday semi hysterical. Her in home therapist met her as she was coming off the bus. They both walked in the door - kt screaming at the top of her lungs & therapist looking bewildered & at the same time trying to get information from kt.
kt really didn't share much other than her math teacher didn't care for her attitude which resulted in not one but two level drops in the course of 15 minutes. (You gotta admit, that's pretty impressive) She was asked to leave the classroom & go to the break room. kt refused; instead the rest of the class left the room.
She proceeded to run up the stairs to her room screaming that she hated hormones & periods & level 3. We gave her 10 minutes to settle before anyone approached her.
kt came downstairs on her own & started talking to therapist. She shared that level 3 had too many expectations every day & that the other kids on that level were to competitive (her exact words). Proceeded to share that everyone is annoying - like mosquitoes buzzing in her brain. She is glad that she is back on level one because no one can interact with her during free time or academics. "I want to be left alone."
kt settled down & had a good evening. She left for school this morning in good spirits & looking forward to being left alone.
In the meantime, we see psychiatrist in 2 weeks - maybe time for a medication tweak. Maybe that the stress of all this Mayo stuff just hit home or a combo of all of the above or none of the above. You never have a clue with kt.
