[QUOTE="smilingthroughmadness, post: 425878, member: 11884"] Thanks for all the tips! I do have a daily, weekly & monthly schedule and that seems to help to a certain degree. But there are still things that I just can not get her to do. As of right now, we have been going back and forth about her getting in the shower and changing out of her pj's. Schoolwork was a huge challenge this morning and we got through most of it without major incident. The deal between her and I was, showers had to happen at the minimum, every other day. Today's the day. And we're back to butting heads. I have come right out and told her that she will not be leaving to her friends house this afternoon without getting in the shower...she still hasn't gotten in and has motivated back to the couch. This is where she's spent most of her time the last 3 days. I'm just soooo tired today with the constant refusal of everything and anything. Ugh!!!! At her next counseling session, I am sitting with counselor with-out her and going over how I can better manage her and her different moods. How can I get her off the couch to do schoolwork without having a huge explosion about how she doesn't feel good and she can't do the work. This is where mainstreaming her back into public school would be a big help to both of us. Now if I can just get the school to do something for her, like and IEP...but that's another fight for another day. I really hope that once the neuropsychologist is done and they decide on a course of medications, that I at least meet somewhat less resistance in the day to day activities. It's not like it's new, we've been doing this (all though, this is her 1st year homeschooled) since she was a toddler. We are first going in at the end of the month for an auditory test. With her depressive episodes, she was getting dizzy spells and migraines. In the last month or so, the dizzy spells have gotten progressively worse to the point of blurry vision, imbalance and puking. Leading the counselor and psychiatrist to agree that this is something beyond the bipolar. So here we go for another round of testing to figure out what's wrong. And this alone is enough to set her off and she does not respond well to being poked and proded (not that many do - but her reactions are over the top and then some). It's Friday, I should be happy, but I am exhausted. It's been a long week and I wish I could curl up on the couch and sleep. [/QUOTE]
