hi to everyone,
i'm surviving my day ever so carefully.....lol i'm sick difficult child was up till 5 a.m. last night. huge mistake not giving her chlondine live and learn thought i'd give her break. she was relentless last night.
what i've seen this past week (shes not on any medication's now; abilify stopped 3 weeks ago roughly) just chl. at night
she's argumentative
difficult
verging on violent - slamming doors stomping feet hitting bed
little to no sleep (as i learned from last night; every other night given her the medication; so i'm guessing this is what it would look like if i hadn't give to her)
extremely hyper
quick talking; alot of thoughts
obsessive
beilve it or not making friends in school left and right past 5 days since this started
isn't fighting to go to school in morning anymore past 5 days also
can seem very happy one minute almost hard to explain really really happy
next minute very mad argumentative name calling me telling me she can't stand me, i don't care about her etc.
i'm holding on like i said to 27th which is round hte bend for evaluation. they'd better give me immediate report for hte money it's costing.
i haven't seen her without medication's in while. last time was this past summer for 4 mos. no medication's did great. she wasn't like this though. she was a bit more hyper but listened not difficult wasn't clingy or needy nothing was sleeping pretty ok most nights. it all changed i'd say mid november. she went from doing well in school making friends, etc. to all of a sudden needy emotionally and academically not sleeping flying into what looked like manic state alot of crying and upsetment, etc. (nothing changed in november) she did start new school in september but as i said adjusted so very well initially.
so then mid november found pyshcdoc had her evaluated agian which is when diagnosis her with bi polar and anxiety/Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) disorder. she went on abilify yet her anxiety went thru roof so we had to pull her off. tha'Tourette's Syndrome why now waiting it out for neuropsychologist evaluation on 27 - 30th at hospital.
does this look like what other people experience when they speak of manic BiPolar (BP) states???
just wondering. i'll have some clarity soon enough and will be figuring out which way to go
just wanted some feedback if anyone else goes through this if their child is BiPolar (BP)???
thanks as always
Jen
