hi,
So, last night I was up till 4 a.m. Most nights i'm up due to my legs spasm's yet last night it was difficult child. She has attended school for two days, with a very high level of anxiety and has only done a walk thru of the bldg. She is not able to attend any classes.
She came to me very late last night in the middle of a panic attack asking what's wrong with-me, etc. she said i dont' know why I don't want to hurt myself yet i'm afraid I may.
So, kitchen knives got cleared out etc. I feel it's due to the returning to school. It has placed her in another episode of hypomania, anxiety, and her Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is really bad. The whole unrealistic fear thing, hurting herself.
I feel horrible, my husband and I are like ok september she will not be returning full time. This is not going to go how I had planned in my mind at all. I called her pyschiatrist today to bump up appointment. we can't get in there till next thursday. I'm calling again to ask them.
Anyone else ever go through this? I feel bad for her. It's as though she's fallen so behind on alot of levels being home with-me all year being home tutored inbetween being in hospitals.
She def. needs a medication change. She's still on zyprexa and her weight is now 150lbs. it's incredibly unhealthy.
september will be same as now, do walk thru first, than maybe 1 class. So, we'll be back to tutors again.
I think i'm going to ask for a mood stabilizer this time and something to use as a prn when she gets that way. She doesn't seem to be able to tolerate benzo's, yet seroquel used to work perfectly as a prn to calm anxiety. Anyone use seroquel in that way?? And has anyone had their kid who normally doesn't present with any suicidal ideation act this way or express verbally this due to heightened anxiety, or Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) or whatever diagnosis they have? if so how'd you handle it besides medication change?
ok thanks
