[QUOTE="Andy, post: 275895, member: 5096"] Sounds like your son is crying for help. He doesn't like how he feels and doesn't know how to explain it. His outbursts are fighting off his feelings - not to be mean to anyone or anything but trying to express fear and frustration about his health. Has he ever been hospitalized before or will this be a new experience for you? I would suggest not even waiting for the therapy session. You can call the hospital and set up an appointment for an assessment. Or, take him to an ER for an emergency evaluation that will open the door to a psychiatric hospital. When my difficult child needed it, I just walked into the psychiatric hospital and asked for an appointment. They saw how bad off he was and took us back immediately (I thought we would have time to eat lunch first). difficult child's therapist told us that he was only able to see him once per week and if we need more intense services that the psychiatric hospital was an option. He said we could either go to an ER to get admitted to the psychiatric hospital or call the psychiatric hospital to set up an appointment with the admissions staff. It was a block away from therapist so we just walked in. [/QUOTE]
