[QUOTE="daralex, post: 284749, member: 4467"] difficult child had a frustrating day yesterday (she was set off by a "friend"). She was very upset and went into her room. I knocked on her door to see if she was ok and she said yes. She texted me a while later to come into her room as she didn't want my SO to see her without any hair - she cut it almost to her scalp. (she actually left her bangs in tact?!) but the rest is about 2 inches long compared to the original 10-12 inches that were on her head when she started. She said she wanted to hurt herself but the scissors weren't sharp enough so she cut her hair instead. I was so sad for her hair! But the messed up part of this is that she is now on 40mg of Lexapro and if she weren't the whole house would be destroyed. I am certainly not ok with how she was feeling or what she did to herself, but it was confirmation that the Lexaprto is helping. Instaed of crying for hours as she normally would, she re-shaped her hair and said "gee, it's not that bad". We are working to get to the root of what happened yesterday and try to not have it happen again. It was just such a surreal moment - I was all kinds of upset/sad about what she did to her hair, but saw the medications working at the same time. I was really sad and relieved at the same time. Is it crazy to think that way? Dara [/QUOTE]
