[QUOTE="totoro, post: 200590, member: 3155"] He sounds like my K, prior to he being on medications. Well she still gets this way but not multiple times a day! Things do get easier once you have a psychiatrist behind you and or a diagnosis. Are you getting a Nuero-psychiatric evaluation? I would recommend this as well. It is much more thorough than most any other Doctor evaluation. Sometimes just having support and a direction to turn makes it *feel* like it is easier to deal with! LOL Hang in there, one thing I would do is let the psychiatrist who you are going to see in 4 months know is that you would like to be on a cancelation list if possible. I am on one for my new psychiatrist and I have been moved up 2x's now from 2 months to next week!!! I would also make up a very thorough and comprehensive parent report- you can find one in the archives here. I would also if you haven't already start journaling everything! Moods, where, when, why, triggers etc! How long... depression, violence all of it! How long does he sleep... I also had short videos of things that were important to us to show the psychiatrist's or whomever. Like K breaking things in a blind rage and then attacking my husband violently, biting, hitting, spitting- abnormal things. Her lying on the floor going on and on about how she wanted to die and please just kill her. You know fun stuff like that!!! I did it because some doctor's would say, "Well all kids say they want to die at times" they changed their minds after they saw our videos!!! Anyway I wanted to welcome you and hang in there! Remember most of our kids do not want to be this way... they are suffering also. Patience and a deep breath. [/QUOTE]
