[QUOTE="welcometowitsend, post: 547780, member: 14356"] Terry - That's kind of a scary admission from your difficult child but I'm glad he verbalized it instead of acted on it. I agree that those can be teaching moments - more so if he is in a calm state. I have to tell you that I have wondered if your difficult child is possibly bipolar. Only because I see a lot of my difficult child in him and I wonder if my difficult child is bipolar. Everything I have read 'online' and in books has led me to believe this is a real possibility. But I'm nowhere near being a medical doctor and this is very new to me so I don't have a lot of self-education on the matter either. Can't say I blame you for not taking that psychiatrist at his word after 5 minutes? How ridiculous is that. I will say one thing - we waited 2 months for an emergency appointment with the paediatrician but he spent well over an hour with us and difficult child. Our psychiatrist appointment is today and it will be 3+ hours for the initial appointment. I hope you continue to move in the right direction with your difficult child and that the doctors can get this figured out sooner rather than later. [/QUOTE]
