[QUOTE="tammyjh, post: 132378, member: 3072"] She has an appointment. on Monday morning. Thats as early as anyone will see her and it is her therapist (not the school counselor). I trust this lady more than the psychiatrist because she knows more of difficult child's history and "gets it" more than most people we've seen. difficult child has said that a girl at her last hospital stay talked about hearing voices and I'm checking through some of the books that she checked out of the library to see if there are any references to voices in them. She's very very open to suggestion. Over a year ago, she read one of the "chicken soup" books with a story about a girl who used to cut. Shortly after that, she snuck nail scissors to school and tried to cut herself...that led to the beginning of her hospital stays. As she never broke the skin, and only tried it once, she's not considered a cutter. I did call the school counselor today so I would know what she said to her so I can give the therapist as much info as possible on Monday. We're very familiar with the crisis people if we feel we need to call...unfortunately some of them know us too well by now.:2sad: We don't have a good history with her being accepted to the hospital for observation. The last time, they declared her stable and "jolly" about 5 hours after being admitted and a 30 minute visit with the psychiatrist on the floor. It took 3 days to find her a bed that time and we spent the time that she was there trying to convince them that she needed to be there instead of focusing on how to help her:furious:. As far as history of mental illness, it depends on who's definition. There are definitely quirky people on both sides but as to my knowledge no one on her dads side have ever been hospitalized for mental illness and no one on my side either. No one on my side either. No history of substance abuse either. Most in my immediate family do not drink at all and very few on her dads side either. Thanks for all your responses. I really appreciate them :) [/QUOTE]
