[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 189459"] We are starting the process with a facility for outpatient treatment. I had the intake appointment in July. She goes 9/15 for a 2 1/2 diagnostic appointment. Yes, we've already done the diagnostic stuff and I'm comfortable with her diagnosis's, but this is their thing and it's a step in the process we have to go through. They also have family therapy, group therapy and partial hospitalization if needed. The medications issue. Our GP spent 45 minutes with her this week talking about medications. difficult child admitted that there is nothing that she enjoys and the she is miserable, but shuts completely down about medications. Actually, that's an understatement. She won't see the psychiatrist at the treatment facility until I don't know when. Sometime after the diagnostic appointment I guess. We (difficult child and I) had the most unbelievably mind-boggling battle over medications. Suffice it to say that difficult child is her own worst enemy and is absolutely head-strong in her own self-defeat. Bottom line is I'm going to have to make her world stop and force medications and my worry knowing my difficult child is 1) she will never acknowledge that they help even if they do and it will be a daily battle and 2) I have to get myself emotionally stronger before I can do it. It [B]will[/B] become WWIII at that time. She is in guitar lessons. She enjoys that. I've tried to get her involved in other activities. Anything. Sports, book club, volunteering at the humane society. I've tried to make it a requirement. Bottom line is, I can make her go but I can't force her to do a damn thing when she is there. [/QUOTE]
