[QUOTE="judytor, post: 227801, member: 5400"] We are going through a rough time with Boo right now. I posted about his biting me last week (I think..) and I know the holidays and extra visitors, and the increase in his medications have added to his stress but he's also just getting so aggressive. His anxiety is out of control. He's starting to accuse us of things that aren't true. For example: the other night he was raging about wanting something of his sister's (don't even remember what it was). He kept body slamming husband. husband was trying to protect himself and also protect Boo from hurting himself. Boo came running to me telling me "papa is beating me up"..... He did the same thing to me tonight. I was holding him because he was trying to bite me and throw things at me. I sat in front of our bedroom door to keep him from running out (we were both on the inside). He kept body slamming me so I told him I would hold him so he wouldnt' hurt me or him. When I held him, he told me I was trying to "squish him like a little grape". He told me he couldn't breathe, etc.....I was not holding him hard. I'm always afraid to hold him because I know it FREAKS him out but I also don't want him to hurt me or himself. Today he was throwing things at me....I told him to stop and he threw another toy at me and then ran ......I followed him outside because I wasn't sure what he was going to do and he freaked and tripped on the cement outside and fell He then blames me and thinks "I made him fall". He blames me for everything and I just don't know what to do. I literally start to cry just THINKING about how he'd feel if we had to put him in a hospital for treatment. He would feel abandoned. It would cement his insecurities and his anxiety I am constantly loving on him. I tell him several times a day how special he is and how much I love him and no matter what he does, I will always love him. He still doesn't "get it". He still thinks everyone is out to get him I'm calling his psychiatrist in the morning because I think the increase in Lexapro in the last few weeks has added to his aggression. I also just don't know what to do. I've been trying to follow the Explosive Child but his ability to think clearly really prevents us from being very successful. I try to be proactive but no matter what happens, he is upset. If he doesn't get exactly what he wants when he wants it, he is in full rage within a few seconds. We took him out of preschool because his anxiety was just through the roof. I feel like NO ONE GETS HIM. The psychiatrist understands more than anyone but he isn't part of his every day treatment, yk? I feel like he needs some intensive services. But I also feel he needs services tailored to HIS NEEDS. The school's programs just didn't "fit" his level of anxiety. I'm getting to the point where I wonder if we're dealing with schizophrenic behaviors? He is so paranoid all. the. time.
