[QUOTE="Steely, post: 494348, member: 3301"] It is so weird because I was just talking to Matt on the phone when he melted down and started talking about this subject. He was hyperventilating, and raging, and he kept talking about how all he wanted to do was throw something or hit something/someone - then he said but I can't do that anymore. I am not that person. Then he said but that puts all the anger inside of me, and it makes me want to kill myself or cut myself - but I am not that person either. So, he said, all I can now when I feel all these emotions is is sit here and rage and cry and then I hyperventilate and feel like I am going to have a heart attack - and it is so hard - the hardest thing I have ever had to do - this containing of my emotions. I guess Matt's frontal lobe is finally being able to lasso in the impulses, but the intense feelings are still there. I thought it was very interesting in retrospect - because up until a year ago he would have gone ballistic with that type of intense emotion. I guess in a way it is also kind of sad, because I am not sure these intense feelings ever go away for these kids - they just learns how to not to act on them. [/QUOTE]
