[QUOTE="klmno, post: 151313, member: 3699"] I just came back from visiting difficult child. He has been in psychiatric hospital since Tues. and has been lethargic- really looking pretty bad until today. (The cw said they couldn't tell if that was depression or just being in there- I didn't think it was just being in there.) Anyway, I think he was hypomanic tonight. He claims he's just angry at the counselors because they keep wanting him to answer questions about what is going on with him. difficult child says nothing is going on with him, he is only in there because he needed medication changes (I told him it is true that he needed medication changes, but there had been things going on with him and that this would be a good time and place to get some of that off his chest.) He doesn't know what I'm talking about- he hasn't been stressed or depressed (grandiose thoughts??). Mind you, his nails are almost bitten off and he's started on the skin around the nails now. I pointed this out to him and he said he was only doing it (biting nails) because he was so angry and this was the only thing keeping him from going off at the counselors. (He does this every time he isn't stable, whether he is angry or not.) I mentioned that they might decide to not discharge him tomorrow. He won't hear of it- he is adamant that he is coming home tomorrow. It knid of reminded me of the few times he has approached me bold-eyed, stating matter-of-factly that he WILL be moving out tomorrow into his own apartment where he can live alone and he will get a job to pay for it himself. UHMMMM! [/QUOTE]
