[QUOTE="keista, post: 447979, member: 11965"] Oh thanks for the laugh! I'm sorry, you probably haven't read some of my older posts. This child is [B]always[/B] looking for something [B]NEW[/B] to do. I introduce a new craft, toy, game and she jumps in does/plays with it, and then she gets bored and needs to move on to the next thing. When we come across a "good" activity, she'll engage in it for a few hours and then we start all over again. It's been non ending. We go to the library and get books (her suggestion) she'll start the book and never finish - it got boring. Nope, TV and DVDs are MUCH TOO BORING. Been going on for months now. She does come up with new suggestions and ideas, but they all cost money. Not much, mind you, but you add all the stuff together, and, well, it all adds up. A beading loom, origami paper, duct tape, cold cream - these were all requested [B]today[/B] as supplies or ingredients for craft projects. If I thought for one nanosecond that any of these would entertain her for[B] a whole day[/B], I would buy them in a heartbeat. Reality is, nothing satiates whatever it is that she's feeling. I'm flat broke from "indulging" the boredom. I did it at first a few months ago because I figured it was a result of the medication change, but If I keep 'indulging' now, that's almost exactly what it is - indulging. We've been dealing with this 'extreme' boredom since the beginning of May when we started Abilify and got her off the Paxil. It's one of the reasons I'm getting her off the Ability - she was like this years ago before I ever started her on the medications - which means the Abilify is doing nothing for original symptoms. Yes, I consider it a symptom. It's a mix between depression and anxiety. She cannot find joy, but NEEDS to do something, but cannot find what that something is that will bring her joy. Oh, they released her because she was deemed "no longer a threat to herself or others [B]and she was not hearing voices[/B]." WTH????? I asked if she had said she was, they said, no, that is their standard guideline for release so it it put down whether it is relevant or not. [/QUOTE]
