[QUOTE="SunnyFlorida, post: 76249, member: 696"] I know you are a new teacher, which means that you can grasp concepts and can teach. My suggestion is that you calm down, go to the sections on this site that describe the different disorders (not just the blogs) and start reading and learning about diagnosis and treatment options. To be informed does not mean you are diagnosing someone, you are just trying to understand the terminology. You might want to look at [url="http://www.crazymeds.org"]http://www.crazymeds.org[/url] This site uses very colorful language yet it kind of gives a down and dirty synopsis of medications. Many MD's will not prescribe Xanax because it is addicting and anyone with drug seeking behaviors should not be using it. Many people sell it also and do other drugs. My difficult child 1 has alot of anxiety, he takes Neurontin. good or bad, that's what his psychiatrist prescribed and. Personally I think its just an add on mood stabilizer that works with the lithium and the lamictal. Either way...that's all he's getting. He's got to learn "tools" to deal with anxiety...just like the rest of us. If you are seeing a counselor, I think I'd change and find someone who is a little tougher on you. One who will teach you how to let go, one who will teach you that your job was to be a parent and not a friend to your difficult child. It's ok if your difficult child falls down, it's ok if they end up in jail, it's ok if they dig a huge hole and have difficulty getting out. Part of life is the struggle. My difficult child 2 told me the other day that he wants to buy his own boat. He wants to name it IGIBM (I got it by myself). It's the struggle that changes our difficult child's, in my humble opinion. [/QUOTE]
