[QUOTE="Farmwife, post: 374198, member: 8617"] Hearing something like that would scare me too. I would definitely bring it up to the psychiatrist asap just to be safe. I have a couple points of reference though they are not from a child. My ex has schizoeffective disorder. He didn't always JUST have a voice tell him something. He also had urges and feelings that were non verbal. The thoughts were intrusive but also repetitive. Sometimes he would just have a strong sense that he was wrong/bad/defective and want to punish himself for it, he felt he deserved it. It would repeat in his head like a record with a skip in it and the same theme would play over and over in a loop, sometimes getting louder or maybe just trailing off in the distance and fading to silence. The various collection of thoughts, urges and voices never completely went away. (On one rare coherent moment he actually described the process in his head to me and it was a profound thing to finally *understand*) the ex had been hiding/managing these issues since age 11 and they didn't present in a noticable way until he was 30. (started out with unusal belief in ghosts and strange creatures/memories of surreal things that didn't happen) I am bi polar and when I am stressed I get a lot of very intrusive and disturbing thoughts. In fact I had the *wonder* about jumping out of a car once. I was not suicidal at the time. The thoughts can also be vivid scenes of bad things happening to loved ones (sometimes I envision doing them), things that scare me, things totally out of character. For myself the thoughts are VERY upsetting and not urges whatsoever. I wouldn't jump out of a car, ever and would never hurt a loved one. However, the feelings feel very intense and real so processing it can be complicated. The worst part is that the harder I try to tune out what I know are irrational/obsessive thoughts the more they stay. I just have to get dsitracted in my day and it goes away. I have never talked about it before but perhaps a child who is less concerned about peoples perceptions would just ramble about their random thoughts. I know my scenarios may not be what is going on with your difficult child. Sometimes things kids say are major red flags and sometimes they are just symptoms of something else going on, something seemingly unrelated. Just trying to point out that difficult child's have so much more bubbling beneath the surface than the simple answers we hope for. [/QUOTE]
