[QUOTE="buddy, post: 483315, member: 12886"] some days he has some control. I think he doesn't have control over the sudden emotional surges he gets. and there are clearly times when he just is in full on, out of it, blurting and raging aggression, not in control. Some/most things are impulsive, though. But I think today, I could sense there was a certain amount of control. Can I explain to someone the difference??? I wish so I could say when it is worth trying to reason with him. I can see it in his eyes. His voice varies more... not just a panic sounding yell. But I knew today that I could remind him of what will happen (THAT he can't think of in the moment on his own) and that he would reconsider. He did. I do think that we are still recovering from hospital learned behavior. He picked up some tricks that need to fade out. Overall, maybe the new medications are making him more reachable in those moments? sad to say the only way I will know is to have more of them. There are full on months when he is clearly not in control of any actions... just gets hit with a surge and reacts and can't calm. I want to think he can learn to control more though. I see it most months, when medications are adjusted and working well, and when seizures are not zinging him into anger/rage. the blurts and some of the impulse jumping around etc... those at times, when he wants so desperately to earn something and to avoid a consequence...but still it happens, those I am sure he can't control. He gets too down on himself afterwards. Too desperate, asking for me to find a way to "fix" it. He told me again two days ago that he knows the only way to stop all of this is to die. (of course, then later after stepping on a mouse on a sidewalk, he forgot and didn't take his shoes off inside the house. He sat on the couch then ran to me and said, mom, I forgt to take my shoes off and dead mouse is on the couch...I wont die from teh germs will I?? He worries about diseases etc. and says he hopes to live to over 100 all of the time) so dont think he really wants to die, think he really wants the hard stuff to stop. by the way, there is no dead mouse on my couch..he just thought germs must have gone from his shoes to the couch. I keep our couch covered so I can wash it becasue there is no point with him....getting a new couch? not gonna happen. But a nice washable cover works fine. [/QUOTE]
