[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 158234, member: 393"] [COLOR=DarkSlateBlue][B]klmno, I remember being in your position - do I dial 911? Do I ignore this "attention seeking" behavior? Question after question. We came up with a crisis plan - had to happen. In the midst of chaos isn't the time to figure this out. Any hint of self harming or aggressive actions toward others was a call to 911 for help in transporting a mentally ill child to ER. I never had a clue if my child(ren) would be admitted or not - that was our course of action. Behaviors to a lesser (but not much) degree promises(ed) a call to crisis team. Many times they come out & calm the situation; if not they would decide on the next step. In our home, the line in the sand is medications & safety issues. If kt isn't compliant in those 2 areas help is brought in. Other issues are negotiable, however husband, myself & tdocs have worked out plans for various & sundry situations. I'm sorry that your difficult child is so unstable. I'm sorry that you don't have a clear diagnosis. We didn't for a very long time. In the meantime, we had to treat/take action on the symptoms. Many times, the medications (which were effective, which weren't) answered our diagnosis dilemma. Do you have access to a crisis team? Have you applied with county mental health for a mental health case manager? I can't remember if you've had recent testing for difficult child - neurophych & others. I hope you have a calmer day today. [/B][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
