[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 189472"] She even tells me that she doesn't want to do therapy; that she hates it and that it just makes her feel worse. But, she's willing to do it. She has to be a willing participant so that's important. I got her to agree to that during one of the episodes like we just had tonight where I banged my head against the wall for a couple of hours while she's sobbing and being miserable and telling me I don't understand and curling up in the corner, yada, yada, yada and then somehow finally getting through to her. After 2 hours of this tonight - of course, starting at 2am - and after me telling her that I have tried to approach this from every possible way that I could think of - that I've tried explaining it to her, educating her, reasoning with her, using rational and logical explanations and examples - that if she decided that she wanted to be miserable that is her prerogative. However, I do NOT want to be miserable and doing this 'thing' with her every single day makes me miserable and I will [B]not[/B] do it anymore. Then told her - again - that I've tried to get through to her in every possible way and that I just wasn't able to get through and so she needs to decide what to do. But, that we had been doing this particular angst event for 2 hours and that I was done. And I walked away. When I came back, the medication and the glass of water was gone. I have thought several times during these events - which happen regularly - about taking her to the hospital. However, I seriously doubt they would admit her because she isn't an immediate threat to herself or others and then she would more than likely never come to me again. Not that I want to do this every day. I just don't want to walk into her room and find her body because she felt like she couldn't talk to me. If I thought they would admit her and that it would do some good, I'd take her. I do need a break. She could probably use one, too. I'm not foreseeing that happening anytime soon. [/QUOTE]
