[QUOTE="lovelyboy, post: 526189, member: 8045"] Agh....it's so bad in moments like this!!!!!! While thinking of your situation.....what else is happening in his life right now? Is there any other stressors that might be triggering this anxiety and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) thought patterns?.....for my son, if he gets like this it helps to go through his lifestressors and try to identify the problem....it really could be something that you might think is insignificant.....one of my sons biggest triggers is if something happened that makes him feel unloved, rejected or unwanted..... I see your son is on Risperdone....my son got htese terrible aggressive meltdowns on that medications.....when we stopped it....he got much better...... Regarding the ps2.....do you want to use it as a priveledge or do you want to cut back on the violent games....if its the latter.......then allow him to play it....but only allow the games with age restriction that you feel is ok....because with my son the play station is almost like stimming.....he plays skateboarding, his special interest.....it helps with bordem.....keeps him out of trouble....and the obsession will be over...... Regarding your husband....we had very much the same situation......what we had to start doing is to get like a special code where if we see one is losing control and the other feels more in control to give the signal, like putting your hand on his shoulder or saying something like....hubby, can you get me a glass of water....just to make each other feel less lonely in the battle and give the other one an escape rout! Please also consider Occupational Therapist (OT) and ST assessments....this also helped alot..... Hugs [/QUOTE]
