[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 302551, member: 1233"] With the anxiety this bad have you considered inpatient treatment? It really seems to be more than could be handled at home. If his anxiety leads to panic attacks over drinking out of someone's cup and they are interfering with his life so very much then he NEEDS to be taken inpatient. Please call his psychiatrist and speak to him about this. Do not tell difficult child until you have the hospital stay set up. Then take him for a ride and end up there. he will be angry and have anxiety. But if you tell him then you won't be able to get him in the car. Or he might run off. You have been battling this for so long. With your husband now on the discipline kick, the opportunities to blame him for being "belligerent" or "rude" or "mean" are everywhere. Reality is that the anxiety is what you are talking to. It rules your son. It is time to bring in the experts to help him. With his obsession over getting sick from someones germs or having reactions to every medication, I think you are coping with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). I am NOT an expert in it, just a mom who has had to deal with it. If he has Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) he can still have a great life. But if it is not ever treated it might very well keep him from having the future we all want for our kids. many hugs, I know this is hard! [/QUOTE]
