[QUOTE="helpangel, post: 529813, member: 7170"] (((PJ))) I know it doesn't seem like it now but have faith that it will get better. Angel was diagnosis in 2001 and I thought I had problems back then but what you are describing sounds like 2006. It seemed like it was all day every day with her, so many psychiatric hospital admissions/ crisis center visits. The 6 hour camping out sessions at crisis center to find out meets the criteria but no beds available. It will totally suck all the energy out of you and leave you wide open to get ill yourself. Try to use some of the time she is inpatient to rest and regroup - get adequate sleep, proper diet & drink lots of water. Talk to the team about your concerns about her coming home because it looks like there would be some real safety issues if that were to happen. Hopefully they will be able to come up with a plan B in the unlikely event Residential Treatment Center (RTC) falls thru. I've been there done that it's a cruel world when you want to buy a nanny cam to spy on your 17yo; or when come home to yard full of police cars before you check the children you look to see if have coffee cream and a book in your purse because you know it's gonna be a long night. I look at your signature (a lot of kids) and realize you probably know everything I wrote. I just remember back in 2006 there were times I needed to be reminded to breath. Going days without sleep and living off of coffee can really do some damage to a parents health. Try to take care of you - rattling the beads for you [/QUOTE]
