I have learned alot from this group. One thing is that difficult child seems to feed off of my emotions, stress, voice level. Today she came out dressed in dirty clothes (normal for her...sigh). I instantly could smell urine. I wanted to rip her face off and ask what she peed on this time. I simply...

hi to everyone i've been running around all day, getting prints done for new job. saw my first huge pysh unit out here, ok it overwhelmed me a bit to be honest. It was like somethinig out of a movie. ok, last night was rough again with difficult child. shes been climbing the past almost 2 weeks it is...

difficult child has a history of insomnia (insists there is no problem now) and of waking up on school mornings feeling sick. She's missed a huge amount of school in the last few years and was off for a whole month before Christmas vacation for various ailments. She has failed the entire first semester of...

husband stunned me today. I guess it's the miracle of modern mood stabilizing medicine at work, because a year ago, not to mention 10 years ago he was a very different man. difficult child 1 has been staying up really late (starting to wonder if it's because we changed to Celexa...). He was up until probably...

I have come in here to escape, only to be followed by difficult child who is now standing at the counter with her back to me crying. She can't do anything. She can't go to school, but she doesn't want to do homebound or homeschool. She can't learn, but she doesn't want an aide and doesn't know how she...

Hello all. I'm new here, and couldn't find an Introduce Yourself section, so I figured I'd start in here. I'm familiar with message boards, but know that each one is unique. I'm a single parent of a 16yr old daughter who is having a hard time, and giving me a very hard time. The most...

I have posted before about difficult child being thrown into a mania on the Celexa the psychiatrist put her on. When I talked to the dr about it, she said difficult child really did seem depressed initially so she tried another AD. I was kinda bothered by the fact that she chose the medication because difficult child said the name sounded...

So after difficult child got home from Residential Treatment Center (RTC), he had a very rough time sleeping. I had to sleep on the bedroom floor and he could not sleep unless I was there. That lasted a week or more, and then gradually? It got better. About 3 weeks or so it started again. We saw psychiatrist, started on trazodone and he is...

we never heard from any police. my older son who is a cop looked into the computer and said there are no charges there for ant. so...who knows if the arresting cop is out of town or what? I do not think this will go away. meanwhile he is very anxious and fearful. he was drinking beer nightly...

If we manage difficult child’s environment so much as to not allow any disappointing moments or any frustration then we have a mostly content child and no blowups. That would mean not telling him no, not telling him to do anything he doesn’t want to do, buying him poker chips for his online game when he...

psychiatrist increased Remeron to 30mg cause it was starting to peter out already - the sleep benefit was. 15mg didn't leave her with daytime fatigue. Do you think the 30mg will? She also wrote a PRN script for Doxapine 25mg for sleep. She said she could take it with the Remeron. Won't that be a...

Hi all, difficult child has been experiencing severe headaches for over 2 weeks now. The other day her DR prescribed her Maxalt, a migraine medication and it didn't do a thing. She's been eating Advils like crazy - sometimes they minimize the pain, sometimes not so much. Yesterday difficult child had a CAT scan done to make...

difficult child 3 saw a sleep disorder doctor. Here is my question he has never really slept like other kids. I know that part of this is due to seizures. BTY they never found any of medical conditions such as sleep apnea or ect. She said it might but neuromuscular??? He spends most of his sleep in stages 1...

I am SO utterly exhausted. I have a friend coming over next wk to splice the cord on the TV, so it can have a diff kind of plug that won't go into a wall socket, and then plug it into the remainder of the cord, which can go into a wall socket, so I can take 1/2 the cord to my office and lock...

hi i hope everyone had a good, calm day today :) I have a question, I will be calling doctor tomorrow yet wanted some feedback It's only the 2nd day difficult child's been on 12.5mg seroquel. She tends to react to medication's rather quickly so I wasn't surprised to see a change immediately in her...

I finally got in touch with my daughter's therapist a school, after several messages and the good ole redial button. Maybe some of you remember my post titled "I'm so mad I could spit", regarding my daugher's Residential Treatment Center (RTC) changing her medications without my knowledge nor permission. My daugher wasn't entirely...

for getting difficult child back on schedule? He stays up later and later and sleeps later and later and doesn't care, much less make any effort to change it. If you recall, he only went to school about one day a week the last few weeks before holiday break. It appears to me that not only is this...

Bradon is 6--we have been on this road since 2.5. 6 hospital visits since May of last year(maybe May is not our month?) and well...after 3 weeks of stability...we are on a BIG downward spiral! In fact, today is the first day I have seriously thought about Residential Treatment Center (RTC). I just dont think I can do this...

my 16 yr old difficult child 2 has been having a tough time with sleeplessness (hard to fall asleep and stay asleep) for some weeks now, coinciding with starting Abilify and going off Effexor. She seems to be tolerating the Abilify now that she has reached a dose of 10 mg., but she can't fall asleep and she...
