[QUOTE="katya02, post: 308425, member: 2884"] Thanks, MWM. It's crossed my mind before to wonder if there's a psychotic process going on. Given my oldest son's diagnosis it wouldn't be a total shock. I helped difficult child make calls yesterday to set up his intake appointment, arrange for proof of fines paid etc. to be faxed, and to activate his MA card. It totally stressed him out. I had to write out word for word what he should say on the phone, and when he had the script he was fine; he sounded quite normal. But when someone asked an 'off-script' question on the other end he panicked and made up random stuff, such as that he has supplementary health insurance for catastrophic emergencies only (huh?), and that he's already arranged for his previous mental health records to be sent to the new office (not!). Making the calls left him shaking and asking to just be taken home because he wanted to go to bed. We'd been planning to barbecue and take him and girlfriend to a movie but it didn't happen. He's also lost his letter from the probation office that confirms that he completed all requirements, and various probation letters and forms from the start of his supervision were scattered throughout his accordion file with random job applications (not filled in) and pieces of junk mail. The good news is that he's willing to leave his files and important papers with us, have his assistance stuff mailed to our address, and have me come to his intake appointment next week. He does seem to understand that he needs help with admin stuff and with his appointments. That's real progress, actually. [/QUOTE]
