[QUOTE="Jena, post: 204054, member: 4514"] Sharon thanks. I was feeling so grose this morning about everything. I get that way at times. like the roller coaster. we sail ok for a while than her two friends leave her and she's melting down again. my patience wares at times. i know so many others deal with so much more than I, i often feel bad complaining yet this place coming here getting it off my chest actually helps alot. to be honest i'd pop her on a drug tomorrow if she'd respond to the anti anxiety medications the right way and not fly into manic mode, i really would. there are so few classifications out there to reduce anxiety in kids. ssri's are the best and safest bet yet difficult child can't take them. tried prozac was hoping small dose of that would bring her down a little yet no good with that either. i'm not going into mood stabilizers and that stuff again. so today i'm picking her up for lunch. it's so not a solution at all yet at least she went into school smiling at the thought she wouldn't have to deal again. i hate the thought of what she's gone through for years. we have tried so many things, ranging from biofeed back machines, to cognitive therapy, etc. it's like nothing sinks in at all. her social skills are incredibly lacking also. i've seen kids say funny things to her and she almost doesn't get it or even know how to respond it's soo odd. the clothes thing too is driving me crazy lately. i can't imagine what people must think. she picks out a standard 3 outfits she wears constantly becuase they "feel good" she says. so i went out and bought new shirts, etc. cause weather's getting cold i made sure the material was soft yet they didn't feel right so she won't wear them. wasted money that we don't have, and i took tags off because she gave me her ok. i even had to change my ex pick up time. usually it's friday night, every other week. yet this was causing alot of anxiety in her. school is a long day then her dad doesn't make it out to us till going on 8 p.m. and at that point we have done our play date with her one friend which is friday routine, pizza night snacks movie she gets very anxiety ridden and doens't want to leave at night. i can totally appreciate that. so we switched it up that she leaves on saturday mornings now. i know this sounds selfish yet saturday was my day to sleep. sunday i have therapy. so now no more sleep saturday. i didn't sleep late but if i got up at 9:30 or 10 that's late for me and great not to have to worry about taking care of anyone. yes in answer to your question after rambling on as i have lol........ she does laugh and play when it's one on one with a child she knows. if we are somewhere where it's just the two of them and me and the other parent we are good. she is very needy indeed always has to check on my location, yet she plays. thing is if we are at a park where other kids are and this doens't happen all the time she will start with the anxiety somatic complaints my stomach, my head, my this i can't breath, etc. i'm giong to throw up. we have had to leave a few play dates early. she can't handle being on playdate without me i always have to buddy up with the parent so i can hang while she's there. it's just funny ms. herbal her new teacher's attitude was oh i'll fix her, she's coming into her ownthis year, blah blah she doesn't require iep, she is fine, it's her 2nd year in school she's comfortable now, etc. she's not ok, she's never been ok. this has been the story of our school life since pre k. also i can't explain it yet difficult child when she gets overly excited she gets or has tics. like last night at theatre group she spoke to no one at all as usual. yet she gets so overly excited at times watching the other girls play or read their lines her facial tic comes out. her jaw almost locks in an open position and it shakes it's hard to explain. i felt bad when i looked in the class last night and saw it happening to her, then the arms start to twich she messes with her legs and turns her feet inward. all i kept thinking is ok this is why the other kids don't go near her. yes bad of me but we know how rough other kids can be. they don't like different, they like sameness especially at this age. ok wow sorry i rambled. then ontop of it the place we rent utilities are included in the rental price. its' not horrible we are making do it's a 3 bedroom split level older type place yet the owners have issues with paying their utility bills on time. so this morning we awoke to no heat or hot water no gas for stove. it's not the first time. we just can't afford to move right now. it's insane they have brand new trucks brand new in driveway downstairs yet they can't manage to pay their bills. we have had gas turned off 3x, electric 2x. ugh.
