[QUOTE="Jody, post: 365046, member: 8787"] They won't diagnose her with it, but it is very noticeable that there are some issues there. I have tried to redirect her when she does these things, but she just can't let it go. ME, ME, ME to an extreme. I am in Springfield area, and am calling several places here and haven't found one that does it yet. I am waiting on her regular therapist to give me a call. I don't know but definately wonder if the abilify isn't making her a little paranoid, anxious. I can't tell if she is having paranoia issues or if it's just worry that she is having problems with. She came up to me the other day and she said, Mom, (terror stricken face) I opened my can with the can opener but I couldn't get it opened so I used a knife, do you think some of the metal could have gotten into my stomach and is cutting me. (She has a stomach ache). I said well don't ever use a knife and try to go to the bathroom, it sure isn't metal in your stomach. At night when she was praying she was talking about the metal in her stomach and to please let it come out without cutting her, if she had any in her. I try to take the dog out for a walk and she runs over everytime and has to check and recheck his collar to make sure that I have it on tight enough so he won't get hit my a car. This is hard. I just can't tell what's really going on with her. I know that she a lot of the times, doesn't hear what I am saying. I know she really hears it but it must be not sounding right to her.
