[QUOTE="maril, post: 246636, member: 5937"] compassion: I am glad to hear your daughter is working on alternate ways. Do you feel she is being helped at the phospital? I have read some of your posts but not all. It seems like this has taken a toll on you. I wish you all well. I am glad I have husband here because I pretty much know I could not do this by myself; not until I could learn better coping strategies!!! With my son, too, getting sleep and stopping substance use helps with his moods, but I also think it important that we get bipolar or other ruled in or out and hopefully get a chance for him to try an appropriate medication to see if that will help him stabilize; he knows all this, we have discussed it - sometimes he is on board, other times not. His psychiatrist hasn't made further suggestions about ruling out bipolar disorder, but as I posted earlier, we will be getting difficult child an evaluation soon for a dual diagnosis program and, hopefully, I can implore [I]that[/I] psychiatrist to point us in a direction where we can get something more definitive. I have heard from you as well as a number of others that the right medication can be very helpful. [/QUOTE]
