[QUOTE="In_a_Laundry_Bunker, post: 492445, member: 13472"] The laundry bunker came from a conversation with my husband. I have ADD and I can do many things but my kyptonite is laundry. Its always piled up. He was complaining to me about it one day and he asked if I just liked a mountain of dirty laundry around at all times. To which I replied that it was a good place to hide from the kids. Thus Laundry Bunker was born. :) The [COLOR=#333333]neuropsychologist sounds like a great idea. My husband's benefits kick in around Feb. He just started a new job. So i'm not without forever but I need ideas or a plan or hope to cling to until Feb. It seems so far off right now. He was diagnosed by our family doctor and confirmed by the psychiatrist we saw briefly. As for his medications I've tried everything from zero consequences to bribing and nothing works. He clamps his mouth down when I try to force it. He once sat in timeout from the time he woke up to bedtime because he refused to take it. I recently discovered a stockpile of medications under the microwave where he'd pretend to take them only to spit it out and stick it under there. I wish they came in liquid form because that I could probably force. When he gets defiant he gets sent to his room until he can calm down. We try to do the 123 magic with him. Sometimes that works most of the time it doesn't. When he gets violent I end up having to almost tackle him and kind of pin him in a hug until he calms down so he doesn't hurt anyone or himself. He's broken windows before when he was going off and then walked across the glass. Its not always easy I have RA which has pretty much zapped all my strength from my arms and legs. I'm trying to learn more conflict resolution to see if it helps. I'm also trying to find some self hypnotherapy to see if that will work. I kinda of discovered that by accident I found a self hypnosis app for my phone to help me shut my brain off so I can sleep at night.
