[QUOTE="laughinbrunette, post: 606034, member: 16826"] Thank you for all the replies. It is comforting that people understand and that I am not off base with thinking that there is an issue. That's a great idea about the app (@DammitJanet) and I have ordered the Bipolar Child and plan to read it. I finally found another Dr to try but the appointment isn't until the end of October...However, I plan to use this time to document his behaviors. The restroom issues are (I hope) slowly improving but his mood swings are just so difficult to keep up with. He is still chewing his shirts *sigh* This morning he was manic, talking 90 to nothing and all over the place. Normally he will answer that he likes school, but then he will slip little things into conversations like he did this morning: "If I was mayor, I would summon air strikes to blow up all the schools because I hate school" and when I asked why he said he hates school...he answered that only smart kids like school. Of course I told him he was smart and he said he messed up his name at school and left part of it out. I discussed with him all the things he is good at and how smart he is and that we'd work on his name, etc...(which he can write perfectly, he just struggles with dexterity depending upon his mood). I also told him how if all the schools were gone, that it wouldn't be good because I wouldn't have anywhere to work and earn money. He replied, "Oh, ok. That makes sense. SO I guess I wouldn't have them blown up, I would just make it a law so that kids don't have to do work." We continued the conversation until he was satisfied that we had covered everything. His obsession today?..the old shows of Dr Who....why or where he got it, I have no idea. (It is exhausting to manage him) [/QUOTE]
