[QUOTE="terryboberry, post: 188650, member: 5215"] Steely, You did the best thing for your son. You are a good, capable and strong mom. You obviously love your son very much. I have been sending prayers, "juju" and white light to you and your son. Think positively. "He IS getting the help he needs." With each step, you are doing the right thing. Stay in the present. Breathe. This is a long post, but I'd like to share just a couple of things: -I also am challenged with depression and anxiety. Many times throughout the day with difficult child, I wanted to run away or escape somehow. My fears and sadness would overwhelm me. I didn't think I could handle caring for my son. My dad signed himself out of a phos and suicided. I would get scared that my son was going to have the same future. But, LIKE YOU STEELY, each time my son's issues escalate... I find that I can do it. I am doing it. Just stay in the now and don't project what could happen. There's a reason my son and I are together in this life. Same as you and your difficult child. When my difficult child was in crisis I posted big notes around the house for myself. Maybe this would help you. The notes said things like: "All is Well. There is nothing to worry about" "You are Beloved (for me this means by God) You are supported. Breathe and feel the Lightness" "You not only CAN do this, you are ALREADY doing it." "It's OK. You are OK. Relax" - My difficult child was on Concerta for 3 years and it worked fine and then started getting more anxious and a little depressed. They put him on Prozac. He got more anxious and started cutting himself. They upped the Prozac. He said he hated himself, hated us, hated school.... more prozac. He started getting aggressive. They added Clonidine and Abilify. Finally at our 2nd psychiatric hospital in 4 months, they took him off all medications and really looked at him. He isn't Bi-polar, no longer on anti-depressants, and he's doing the best he has in years. Please consider give the psychiatric hospital another chance and perhaps ask them to clean him of all medications and start over. Thanks for understanding my intentions with the long post.
