[QUOTE="klmno, post: 243114, member: 3699"] Janna, I know you're right about the diagnosis and BiPolar (BP) being over-diagnosis'd right now. But in our case, it's always been me trying to convince people that difficult child is not always this way (in winter and spring) and trying to convince them that he really did do crazy things that I did not cause or provoke (in summer). So, I can't say for sure that it's BiPolar (BP)- but I do know that he has something cyclic going on. It's just too coincidental that it has happened almost like clock-work going on our 4th year in a row now. My therapist told me diagnosis's are like criteria for a box- and many, if not all, people don't meet the cookie-cutter criteria. So, dr's are left trying to figure out which box criteria best suits the difficult child. But you are right, if they are noticing and treating the symptoms, it doesn't matter so much wwhat the label is, if school can deal with appropriate accommodations, too. Thanks, Crazy! I guess my typical mom feeling about the shoe is that I don't want anyone thinking that my kid needs new shoes and I won't provide them. LOL! It leaves me feeling like I should get him a pair anyway so they can see that he at least has them- and I would do that except I don't know what size to get. I guess there are good things and bad things about this happening now, if it has to happen at all. A lot of it depends on difficult child, of course. I do think I should mention to them that he might be somewhat delusional. Anyway, I will be in touch with you. I'm going to organize my lists of things that need to be done so I can prioritize and try not to drop the ball on anything critical. Then, once I feel like I have a "plan" for getting everything back under control and caught up, I can go out and relax a bit. Thank you so much for "being there"! I took me about 3-4 days just to get myself back on a normal sleeping schedule- boy, that feels good, too! [/QUOTE]
