[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 202381, member: 1233"] I am so sorry that you are dealing with all of this. Be careful (I know you will) with the self harm thoughts. If possible have him tell you exactly what they are and journal them for the psychiatrist. I sincerely hope that your difficult child does not start cutting. He is just a year or so older than when my difficult child started hurting himself with cutting behavior. I think journalling everything may be the most important thing you can do to help your child. It will let you get a long term picture of what is going on. It is so dang scary when our kids have thoughts of harming themselves. I think it is wonderful that your difficult child can and does talk to you about them. Not all difficult children talk to their parents about them, and there are some parents who won't listen (NOT us Warrior Moms, but some moms I have met through group therapy with my difficult child). Anyway, I hope the weaning off medications gets more smooth. It may be that your difficult child will need to be on an antidepressant for longer. But you won't know until you try weaning him off, but maybe you neeed to go slower. Hugs!!! [/QUOTE]
