difficult child just showed me some welts on her wrist. Obviously, it's just an attention grabber - if she really wanted to do it, she easily could have. I can never tell if she's just trying to deflect our attention from her bad behavior or if she's really that depressed. Not taking her medications for two days and drinking on top of that is obviously a precursor for this behavior, but it still really gets to me. I have so many other worries for my easy child right now (long story) and I come home and now this.
difficult child is on the phone with our family DR right now - she wanted to speak with her and since she's very easy to talk with, we paged her. I hope she can offer some words that will help difficult child get over herself. I gave her a xanax to calm her down, so she must sound a little out there...but then again, she is also quite upset so she sounded a little out there already.
It's almost 4PM and I haven't had one calm moment yet since I woke up. And I have to go back to work tomorrow after being out all last week. This bites.
