[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 269822, member: 7083"] Thank you, ladies. As she was talking last night about her "evil brain", as she calls it, I was thinking that I hadn't seen this level of emotional dysregulation with her for a long time. I'm too tired to go into the details, but it was waving a big red flag. It's emotional immaturity, it's egocentric immaturity, it's inability to show empathy - even though she does feel it, and inability to self-calm. You ladies nailed it. And I wonder how much comes from the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) traits, how much is depression, how much is anxiety - cause they would be, to some extent, addressed differently. But, I am NOT allowed to mention depression and anxiety because she doesn't think she has either of those and if I mention them then I don't believe anything she says. :rolleye: So, I keep it in the back of my mind - a tally of sorts, to keep tabs on behavior and mood. She has been getting hot a lot lately. She says she feels hot from the inside out, although she doesn't feel like she has a fever. When this happens, she feels nauseous and gets a headache. She takes tylenol or ibuprofen and it seems to help. So, I should get her to the doctor to have her checked out. I'm sure that's not helping things. Sigh. I'm just tired. I seem to attract difficult child's...mine, difficult child 2, easy child's girlfriend's mom, a difficult child friend who I'm pretty fed up with.... Ugh. Oh, and my mom is frustrated because of my health and she took it out on me and that happened last night, too. I'm running away to Belize. :whiteflag: [/QUOTE]
