I'm thinking of having Eeyore admitted to the psychiatric hospital. He is having daily anger outburst, many holes in the walls in his room. Today he threatened to kill us. All of which point to a psychiatric hospital stay.
Against a psychiatric hospital stay is that he does show remorse (he cried after the threats and said he felt guilty for saying them), is talking about his frustration with his life, and we only have access to the state-funded phosps will put him in contact with a bunch of street-kids. Knowing him and knowing the population he'd be with, I think he'd come out worse than when he went in.
We've elimintaed all electronic contact with friends (no phone or internet). He still sees friends at school and can still see them at various events. I think the struggle to follow the ever changing social landscape of teenage-hood was too much for him.
I hope that making his world smaller will help him calm down. No therapist or psychiatrist for 3 weeks due to their vacations.
