[QUOTE="Blessed Mama, post: 448860, member: 12458"] I can definitely relate. I could have started this thread myself. My daughter spent 22 days total - spaced between 3 hospitilizations - in May of this year in our state psychiatric hospital, juvenile ward. During her first stay, she was upset about being discharged, and wanted to go back. She made sure that happened by actually injuring herself, as opposed to the first time when she just threatened to harm herself. After the second stay, she was eager to come home, but it wasn't long before she completely flipped out at a friends and really hurt herself, and wound up going back. The third stay was the longest, and she was adament that she never wants to return since coming home. It was definitely heartbreaking going to visit and seeing my little girl there. Or hearing about her being reprimanded (she had to be put in 'strong clothes' for flipping a table and screaming profanity at staff). My daughter also had a very hard time with insomnia, and most of her episodes are at night, when her mind is racing and she can't sleep. It's especially hard when you see both sides of them - the sweet, funny, intelligent, cute and loving side vs. the flipping out, screaming, swearing, running, breaking stuff side. I definitely feel for you. ((hugs)) [/QUOTE]
