[QUOTE="erbaledge, post: 361410, member: 4334"] During our session yesterday, gfg15 said she thinks she is stealing due to low self esteem, how other kids' pick on her by calling her 'fat' - though I gotta say she is not. So after some quick thinking, I came up with this goal for her to earn: She must complete all of her community service so that she can earn back her home visits. And if she does that and does NOT steal a single thing from yesterday until she comes home for her next visit - then her and I will go purchase some hair dye (her choice of color, as of now she's stating blonde) and I will color her hair. I am hoping this is incentive enough to get the community service done, to not steal, and I hope the hair color may help increase her self esteem some. We also discussed how she can do exercises to better tone her body, and I stressed to her to not focus on a weight scales numbers but rather how her body is toned. I did bring up the SSRI info and completely requested that at her next psychiatric appointment that she be weaned off of the SSRI so that we can see if that is or is not increasing her 'want/need' to steal. I did stress that they doctor will need to find a different anti-depressant for her to replace it. They will let me know when this psychiatric appointment is and I will do most everything I can to be at the appointment; however if I can't our counselor said she will bring up my issue with the SSRI and do the talking for me, along with showing the printouts I brought. In today's mail I got the newest quarterly report. None of it surprised me per say, but some bothered me. First thing was this statement: Prognosis: Fair: gfg15 is suffering from multiple psychiatric disorders that make it hard for her to be out in the community Second thing was: gfg15 is at 9 months of PMIC Treatment. It is estimated that she will need PMIC for an additional 3 months. All of that is really info I already know, but it just sucks and breaks my heart reading it in writing, if you know what I mean. I'm nervous about what the next 3 months will entail with her behaviors, because just reading her entire report (and from first hand knowledge) it is obvious that unless she starts improving she will not do well back in our home setting. That is saddening, because I want her here, but I want her better. I'm scared that the next report will also include ANOTHER additional 3 months, and then what? [/QUOTE]
