[QUOTE="maril, post: 214578, member: 5937"] Wow. I must admit, dealing with difficult child's crisis has left me a bit out of it today; still, I kept busy, including getting hold of psychiatrist, then sorting through with husband what steps to take next, as well as trying to get some other necessary tasks done. :knockedout: TerryJ2: You hit the nail on the head - I do approach things in a questioning way sometimes when I must instead be firm. An Achilles heel I am trying to remedy. Thank you for your help. FightingforCole and klmno: Thanks for the suggestions on books! I will explore. Star*: Thanks for sharing your experiences. It must have been very painful for your son and you. I am glad you are past that. As far as my difficult child talking about how he would kill himself - he has told me on two separate occasions recently how he would do it. Back in October, even before he was prescribed the generic Zoloft, I caught him trying to hurt himself. He was then hospitalized, which I described in previous posts. butterflydreams: I am happy for you and your children that things are looking up. I hope all continues to improve. Thanks for your kindness, also. I am a bit lost on the term rapid cycling; I have read about it and gather that is the way bipolar manifests in teens (?) Is it alternating rapidly between depression and mania? [/QUOTE]
