[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 188487, member: 1498"] I'd say he isn't under control anymore. My take is that he has anxiety and self worth issues. I can remember my son at his worse always -- [I]always[/I] -- did very badly when 1. he was under pressure 2. something good happened in his life. The first is anxiety related and pretty obvious. Taking a test for taekwondo class may be so stressful that he not only doesn't mind not being allowed to go to class, he could be grateful not to. The second is often a bit less obvious. We noticed the behavior when it was happening but couldn't believe it was what it was. A conversation with my son once he was better confirmed what we thought we were seeing -- he felt so unworthy that he had to sabotage his life whenever something good happened. Like proving he really wasn't worthy. Gotta ask, what medications is he taking. So many of them can make things worse. [/QUOTE]
