trying to find some humor...okay it was lame.
update and advice sought. My daughter just started her period again..therefore it has been on freaking month since our last melt down... this period seems to be more of a ...."detail" period. I asked her to get the trash out of my car and she did that..and detailed her brothers car. I said thank you and was very happy.... BUT THEN...she is watching tv..against the rules as she is grounded from tv..but she thinks she deserves it since she did all she did. Honestly I was going to let her watch it...AFTER she took her bath, ate, cleaned up her room..and was ready for bed...but instead she didnt do the things she was suppose to and opted to do something else that really DIDNT need done.
She and I had our first visit with the psy. We were both in the room and I commented little...I just proded her when she didnt give fully truthful answers to give more detail. He says BIPOLAR. okay thats good...but..bad.
My biggest issues are:
1)she doesnt sleep good. she is restless, leg jerks, tossing, turning etc.
2) the inability to wake rested for school the next day
3)her control issues. Toward everyone. She has all the answers and the rest of us are dum basses. She frets over things and makes everyone around her nuts. She knows right and wrong and although she doesnt not always do right..she dayam sure makes sure everyone elses behavior is "right" and if not she sounds like a MOTHER/DICTATOR.
4)SCHOOL. for the past two years I have begged for help there. Even though I knew the IDEA/IEP/504 stuff due to my step son...I was attempting to not label my daughter...so I asked for her to see the coucelor which happened once... I asked for teachers to NOT engage her- and ended up with them engaging her everytime and even putting their hands on her. Principal decided she was just disobedient so he bypassed normal punishments and suspended her once (for nothing) and gave her ISS antoher time. I was to meet with the superintendent but then...BLAM my health went to hades. So school started today..and this is where I need help.
I know...I read all the IEP stuff here with my step son...difference with him was that the teachers were pushing for him to get some help. School year just started so no teachers are complaining YET about my daughter...
I am overwhelmed with everything and my ADD/ADHD is kicking my butt...combined with severe ANXIETY for what my kid might be going thru without me there to protect her. SOMEONE TELL ME HOW I REQUEST THE TESTING AND GET THE psychiatric evaluation/DIAGNOSIS TO THE SCHOOL AND START THIS PROCESS. My daughter has enough problems of her own she does not need them to start the bullying and get her out of sorts again.
thanks
