[QUOTE="Steely, post: 213924, member: 3301"] Yea.....Star, you nailed it. I mean what can a parent do, other than what we are already doing. Thank God Dude is still alive, and I do in my heart believe Matt will also make it. He is strong, and wants to do the right thing. T-doctor told me yesterday what your staff told you - oh, this is Matt just manipulating, rather than actually being chemically this depressed. I wanted to ask them if THEY had ever been chemically depressed........cause I am pretty sure they would think differently had they experienced even [I]one[/I] suicidal thought, let alone day in and day out. I struggle with them every single day, and have for 41 years. I do not think Matt should be off medications, because that is what happened at the wilderness camp, which is why he ended up in the Residential Treatment Center (RTC). He is just too bi-polar to be off mood stabilizing medications. However, I am in the process of working with the nurse, dr, and group home director to get him to use exercise and homeopathic methods or relaxation, in order to get him off of all these PRNs.
