[QUOTE="exhausted, post: 539242, member: 11001"] Want Peace-I am so proud of you for going to a meeting. In my experience it takes a while to find the group you feel good about-maybe you will hit pay-dirt? Don't give up. My daughter had trouble with all antidepressants she used-though she seemed calmer-all her suicide attempts came while on these. I have learned to listen when she says she can't tolerate a medication. I did not know cold medications. could be so dangerous. I knew they were used in meth making-but not that they could give a high that was so dangerous. My difficult child is scary smart as well. I also teach at a charter school that attracts really smart kids. I see more mental illness and troubled behavior at this school than I ever did when I was even a Special Education. teacher. It is interesting that many of my Learning Disability (LD) kids even had gifted brothers and sisters. I think there is just a fine tooth comb seperatin the issues in the brain. My daughter always expressed how tedious it was to go to school and have to wait on the other students to learn before she could move on. She said she felt weird, unaccepted, and out of sorts often. The Residential Treatment Center (RTC) where she was, said that they often saw high IQ or learning issues with these kids. Being different hurts and not fitting in the way you want can be tough-esp. if your kid is socially savvy. Being outside the "normal curve", just puts them at risk. [/QUOTE]
