Hi all
Been a while cause we have been struggling to be heard by school and doctors etc. we had difficult child trialling new medications again after his cut his wrist again in the hols. they had him on concerta(no good) and then Strattera. They keep saying he has ADHD But I disagree cause the medications arent working.... the strattera was ok for 8 days then he got mean and violent & was self harming again. :bloodshot:
He tied a scarf around his head to choke himself and has bruised his neck.. luckily when he couldn't breathe he freaked and I had to get it off him quick b4 he passed out. He has been slamming PCs head against floor in anger and laughing as he does it. After breaking my nose he most recently kicked me in the head 4 saying no to him. Two days ago he also decided to electrocute himself with a plugged in power cord. he thought it was hysterical But I did not. :crying:
I called his paed last Monday after the beating of his sister and the choking incident and re-called on Friday begging receptionist 2 get him 2 CALL ME CAUSE MY SON WAS HURTING HIMSELF. She replied with he is busy...he will get in touch when he has time...My response was to remove the medication from the boy.......and now he is back to eating and though aggressive its not as severe as when medicated....When i say that though you all know what he is like so imagine that twice as bad on medications
What annoys me is that the Paed says this medication was all we have left to try and that he shouldn't react at all to this cause its a non stimulant..... The only other choice is anti-psychotics which is scary for his age supposedly. Mental health saw him last week and he refused to talk at all to her...he would not look at her...she finally got his depression cause she says he needs more intensive help and why is he on medications when the pyschiatrist said no to them...i told her if she had to live with his threats & attempts of harm then she would also get to that stage.
he was sleeping in his bed but he is now back in mine and has been hearing voices again and things are in his room on the roof..... the voice tells him to do bad things and calls him names etc.... I want to cry cause his language is that bad and his sister is emotionally a mess...she tells everyone now her brother beats her up. his answer for everything is to call me horrid names that would make any mum cringe. His sister is copying his language and I am having to punish her for something she doesn't understand
I have asked for respite care but have yet to find a place cause no one wants a self harmer with aggressive violent tendencies in their home..... easy child (i have been told) has problems with speech and I have to get her seen to now and I am tired cause its Christmas... :blizzard:
One good thing is. My son has however gone out and got pressies for everyone out of his own money this year.....He picked them and wrapped them. I love christmas But i find it exhausting......:elf:
hMMMMMM now I have depressed you all I will go and retreat to my hole and pray that next year is better than this year has been...... i keep believing its going to get better cause if it gets worse he just may really get hurt :nonono:
