[QUOTE="TiredSoul, post: 383365, member: 3930"] Thank you all. I decided to print out a daily calendar with the hour blocks on it from Outlook. All heck started yesterday at 11 am. I practically filled the entire 8.5x11 page front and back. I then made a spreadsheet on excel that lists the dates across the top and the activated symptoms and withdrawn symptoms in order along the left side. What I am going to do is highlight the symptoms he displays during the day, then at the end of the day, I will assign a value ranging from 4 to -4 depending on severity. If I was really smart, I could figure out how to graph it. But at least for now, the psychiatrist will be able to see all of the symptoms he displays each day. Yesterday for example he displayed these: ACTIVATED: Irritability Temper tantrums Increased aggression Disregard for authority (mine) WITHDRAWN: Sadness Low self esteem Cries more Anxious/tense/worry Change in appetite (hungry) Physical complaints Night terrors gvcmom, I was thinking the same thing that his behaviors are most all the activated type, but when I looked at this closer, he was crying a lot, seemed sad (after he was mad), says things like I hate myself, I want to die, I want a new family, you're being mean to me (when all I am doing is talking to him), etc. Sometimes I think he is delusional because he really believes I am being mean to him or trying to hurt him. Also, he had a bad dream that his dad was flying a plane and his little brother fell over a cliff. Would a bad dream be considered 'night terrors'? I know what night terrors really are because he had them from age 1 -3. But should I list the bad dreams in that category? Also, the screaming I want to die - would you indicate that under suicidal thinking, or is it really an activated behavior because he is yelling it - maybe to get a reaction from me, but maybe not? Is it Wed. yet? :confused1: [/QUOTE]
