[QUOTE="klmno, post: 168716, member: 3699"] Do you have any insight on this "physical" feeling? Does it mean their medications aren't right? Are they in pain? Or is it the "I don't feel normal" that leads to substance abuse? (Based on what my difficult child has said lately- that is whata I'm worried about) The only thing that sticks out in my mind about difficult child (he didn't exhibit signs of a mood disorder until shortly before turning 11yo)- when he was about 7yo and had been fussed at, at school, he made a couple of comments saying that he couldn't help it sometimes. He said that one part of him really wanted to be good and do the right things, but another part of him was telling him to "just go ahead and do it" and sometimes, he wanted to so bad that he couldn't stop himself. At the time, I thought he was just battling self-control and I discussed with him what temptation is and that it is hard for everyone, even adults, not to give into it. Maybe that is all it was- but since now I KNOW he has a mood disorder of some sort, I can't help but wonder if there was more to it than that. I often woonder if he has hallucinations or something else. He has suffered from nightmares where he thought someone was about to kill him. [/QUOTE]
