[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 95437, member: 1514"] Ya know...speaking of medications. I wouldnt consider Lamictal, I would go for Lyrica. I know that sounds like an odd choice but hear me out. Your daughter complains of pain and anxiety. Lyrica is used for both pain and anxiety. Lets kill two birds with one stone. If at a later date you wish to address the depressive aspects you might want to consider something along the lines of Lamictal or Cymbalta since both of them also tend to address some of the pain issues she complains about. Cymbalta more than the Lamictal. As far as how to address and fix this mess, you have to work on teaching your daughter to name her real feelings. Work on identifying all the different feelings people can have and how to tell when a person is feeling them. For many of us we can really only relate to a few feelings. I only understood anger, sad, happy and mad. I didnt get that often when I was angry it was because I was afraid of something. Fear came out as irrational anger and was often misplaced. I am learning to attempt to figure out if what I am feeling is a rational emotion or just "borderline moment" and if its a borderline time...I decide if I think its worth the fallout. Sometime I cant stop myself. I have moved to the point that I can "see" my more manipulative aspects to some of my former behaviors but I cant tell you exactly what I craved to get from those behaviors. I know I wanted attention but why I wanted that attention Im not completely sure. You need to teach her better ways to get positive attention. Dont know if this is making any sense at all. [/QUOTE]
