[QUOTE="helpangel, post: 528186, member: 7170"] Thank you everyone not only for the support but some very practical advise and a few ideas of things I haven't tried. I can't talk to my family about this as my brother had this going on worse then Angel and this would be the straw that broke my mother. I got an idiot neighbor keeps coming down here trying to get me to give her onion rings; ugh finally told her "rather then speed up her funeral I will understand if you don't attend". Onion rings ugh of all the brainless ... growl huff snort. Like I would give this kid any solid food at this point much less something that causes gas - her bowel will explode. I dealt with this refusing treatment thing in January a week after her arrest she dove out window and took off barefoot in 10 degree weather after smashing up my house. Restraining her to keep her out of 45mph road cop tells me they won't call an ambulance because words coming out her mouth are I don't want to go to hospital and she is 17yo. I'm going to contact her case manager tomorrow and figure out what I have to do to have control of medical decisions among other things. As soon as CM gets the leg work done I'm getting her transferred over to adults MH. This has been a viscous circle for the past 10 years; need to break the circle and start transferring her to adult services anyway. Her thyroid will be off, she not drinking enough water etc. will get constipated. Will finally get the fecal blockage gone and something about getting rid of all those toxins she was holding in she goes into a manic phase for a couple weeks. While manic she will be eating pizza and chips and all that junk she knows can't have that I don't bring into the house. They check lithium, adjust lithium which throws off her thyroid again, gets constipated and round and round she goes. Or they fix lithium level which throws thyroid off, adjust thyroid which throws off lithium and round and round. The fact that this kid is still getting in this condition while taking 4 laxatives a day tells me there is something wrong -horribly wrong somewhere - probably with her plumbing. Her county psychiatrist doesn't do any medication adjustments, of the 16 psychiatric hospital stays I would say 10 of them could have been avoided if her psychiatrist had just adjusted medications when needed instead of letting her end up inpatient for psychosis. Part of me wishes prince Charming would ride in here on his Harley and ride off into the sunset with her/ the other part wants to protect her and be in control of everything. It's almost like this kid is giving me a split personality where I keep arguing with myself and can't stay focused. The psychiatrist calls my problem stress disorder not otherwise specified because she couldn't find anything in the DSM that fit correctly; its not Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) its almost PTSD but they would have to change the P to an O or C for ongoing or cumulative traumatic stress disorder. Wish it wasn't Sunday I could get her probation officer to bully her into going to ER. Nope more manpower gonna call my friend and get him to drive us down and have 2 guys carry her into the ER for me if can get her inside children's hospital this will get done if she refuses to go in our ride will have already left.
