[QUOTE="Jena, post: 378420, member: 4514"] Marg, Thx. We brought her to dr. while back when it all started and than again two weeks ago, her throat is fine. It's all emotional and in her head. She exhibits so many behaviors from so many diff diagnosis's that it is hard to treat her even in therapy. her Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) (obsessional thinking) does not help the anxiety or thoughts of choking because when the thought comes that Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) helps hold it. the mania irritablity i'm a superstar stuff is cute after being through 3 nights of anxiety ridden difficult child, yet also very unhealthy, hence the bipolar component. the mania she exhibits the up till 3 a.m. singing in a microphone with-pink lipstick on, or recording songs and writing music till 4 a.m. we def. want to combat also besides the anxiety nights because we're all shot husband and i last night both said as we laid in our bed wow it's the house from hell. there is a diff. way i found this clinic online info in orgeon it's strictly for eating disorders, food phobia, etc. and they first lower anxiety yet they dont' put the food infront of the kid for a week, they first talk therapy, yet i have to do more research into what they "talk" about lol. to get it. it's rough, i'll list below what we see in her: wets bed most nights paranoia hypermanic behaviors (grandiose behaviors, on top of the world etc.) high irritiablity; verybally aggressive physically to animals sometimes to me yet only pushing thank goodness so far destruction of minimal property (only on certain nights; there is def. a pattern) sleeplessness; can function on 3 hours sleep no problem; stays up all night in room singing recording songs, writing songs, videotaping herself, etc. (again; certain nights) pattern again Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD); needs it all to be routine; step 1 than step 2; what are we doing today? and when?? than gets thought locks down on it. sadness; can see it more clearly now that shes' older; crying bouts, what's wrong with-me i'm so sad, self loathing (at times; not as often as past) again certain time frames. anxiety on certain nights very bright often handles herself like an adult regarding finances; although we do not discuss them infront of her; slow to warm up as always with-kids, at functions, goes inward we have implemented; journalling for years therapy therapy in school anxiety groups peer groups extra cirricular activities (usually bails out) i chase down mom's for playdates or kid get together's whatever you wanna call them. visualization color therapy meditation yoga biofeedback medications (anxiety, ssri's, antipyschotics) herbal treatments for sleep and anxiety and mania as far as it not being eating disorder yet i agree i think there's this cliff and she's right there. eleven lbs. in two weeks loss is enough for me to say ok we have a problem here. my mom picked up on it while back. i'm keeping this pyschiatrist tuesday whether i like him or not at this point. i do not have time to play games or search for the one i absolutely love. for years we have danced around not giving more than one medication. i think this time a cocktail of at least two will have to be used. crazy thing is i've been talking to my ex mother in law lately via facebook. i had to ask ok what was difficult child's dad like little? hmm she said it was really mixed and odd. he was incredibly hyper or sad and weepy and got into trouble at school constantly. hmmm my response did you take him anywhere to get answers? shocker she hasnt' written back yet. my ex would spend days not showering, not sleeping, than hyper and happy and clean and shaven for days, would spend 20 min.. parking his car to get it just right. when we left the house he'd have to do an hr. long cdheck to make sure all the water in the house was off and light switches off. anyway enough said..... apple didnt' fall far on this one at all. difficult child's maternal grandmother on dad's side had mental breakdown years ago, her parents both committed suicide. needless to say i did not ask these questions prior to marriage :) also ex h didnt' exhibit his behaviors until severe stress and life change hit, than the fun began. wow this was long sorry!!!!
