[QUOTE="Alttlgabby, post: 246315, member: 6786"] This was kind of my daughter. She has CP, but I am sure that if she could go around kicking and hitting things/people, she certainly would have done it! She has had some problems in the past but they did get worse when her Dad had to go to Korea for a year and during that time was sexually molested by a neighbor during that year (2 yrs ago this April). She was eventually placed in the psychiatric hospital this past August because I couldn't handle her following me around the house for 5 hours any longer asking the same questions over and over. Couldn't even get out for 20 minutes that she wasn't blasting my cell phone 20-30 times with either phone calls that I wouldn't answer or text messages! She had threatened before to take all her pills (was on Lexapro at the time only). Then my niece heard her saying something about committing suicide around her 7 yr old daughter who already has mental issues herself and told her off! The next time, she said something to my son about a knife and cutting herself. I said that was enough and I was tired. I needed a break and some help. They admitted her under ER due to her response to them that she didn't know why she was still around. She was there in the psychiatric hospital for 8 days. She FINALLY had a psychiatrist that understood and saw her for what she truly was and what was needed! I am so sorry that your daughter cannot get the help that she needs. And I know you are truly frustrated because you can't find a doctor who will help her to stabilize, but then can't find a therapist who will help her unless she is stabilized. Between a rock and a hard place and your really feel like slapping someone! Sounds like your daughter, like mine truly needs another mood stabilizer besides just Abilify. She probably suffers from some form of depression as well due to the abuse. I know that would be enough to throw me into a depression! And since she can't really connect to anyone, you can't truly understand how or what she is thinking. [/QUOTE]
