[QUOTE="amy1129, post: 445553, member: 11795"] Finally got the OK from insurance for psychiatric testing, they approved 12 sessions/days. I have no idea if that is what the dr asked for or if this is enough to cover what tests they want to do, we'll see. I called the dr to get a date but I think she is on vaca, I remember her saying something about a vaca but I cant remember when, since I havent received a call back yet, I am assuming she is on vaca now. :) Anyways, I was wondering if the summer months/days are better for your kids. It seems mine is worse. He goes to camp with his sibling 4 days a week, they come home, we eat dinner, we swim, we watch tv and wind down. I would say just about every night, we have this breakdown that lasts and lasts. I am thinking its because he is soooooo exhausted and overstimulated and or overwhelmed, but I know that is probably just the tip of the iceberg. My easy child does the same as him but she just kinda slows down and vegs out, not him. he screams, he is never happy no matter what the options are, nothing seems to go his way, even if it goes his way he wanted it to go another way. we end every night in tears, sobbing that he hates his life, no one likes him etc. The I want to die comments are still there and I am still a little concerned but social worker isnt because difficult child said he was just being sarcastic when he says it. But a few nights ago I just asked him why he says that and he says he wants to be with _____, ______, and _____. 3 family members who have passed. I realized he sorta understands what "I want to die" means. Last night he had trouble opening a go-gurt so I got my scissors and cut the top off, he asked for the scissors to he could stab him self....I completely ignored him and said "here is you go-gurt", he took it and went to watch tv. I am 50% of the side of he is saying these things to get a reaction from me and 50% on the nervous mom side. I really truely dont think he would harm himself but I dont want to pass it off either. I was just wondering if your summers are better or worse with the schedule change. thank you [/QUOTE]
