[QUOTE="Bunny, post: 474935"] His main diagnosis is anxiety with ODD. We were hoping that once we got the anxiety under control that the ODD symptoms would slowly disappear. That's happened, to a point. I understand that he comes home from school burned out, or as it's been explained to me, wound up like a tight rubber band. And I agree with you that it can be intermittent. Some days he's fabulous! The best young man I could ever want. Other days, well, I suppose you all know what those days can be like. What he now says is that he "chooses" to hold himself together at school because at school he feels liked and respected and at home he says that no one loves him. No one. Not me, not his father, not his aunts and uncles, not his grandparents, not his brother. But I find it ironic that he only sways this when he doesn't get what he wants. When he gets his way, he's loved. When he doesn't get his way, no one loves him. I don't think that evenings are worse than the morning. Actually, I think that the afternoon are generally his worst time, if I had to pick one time of the day. He's goes to sleep pretty easily, and he gets up to go to school easily, for the most part. I think that like all kids, he has a couple of days a year when he says he doesn't want to get up, but he usually gets up and gets ready without too much of a hassle. Dark circles? He has them this morning, but I think that could be because he's sick. His favorite activities are cooking, baking, video games, playing hockey in the driveway with his friends and brother, and playing army, His least favorite part of school? I'm not really sure about that. He's in all of the honors classes that he can be in. Pam [/QUOTE]
