[QUOTE="klmno, post: 118394, member: 3699"] Sorry to hear you are going through this- yes, there are times my difficult child is highly functioning and times I don't know where he is- mentally. We are trying to sort through it -is it bipolar or some other cause of cycling- how much is effected/caused by medications (not all of it is- this is why he was put on medications)- how much is manipulation, etc. I feel for you- unfortunately, I can't give you THE ANSWER, because we're looking for it too. The best advice I can give, which you've prabably already gotten, is log everything or do whatever else it takes to try to find the "pattern" or triggers, whether its medications, season, allergies, a social or family happening, anything and everything. Hang in there- we're all in the same boat in some ways!! I've even gotten to a point where I'm reporting that my difficult child spent time cleaning and trrying to teach himself to play piano to the docs. Not because I think this is abnormal or a psychiatric issue, but because it appeared uncharacteristic and I'm trying to watch for any LITTLE sign- well, what else can you do? [/QUOTE]
