[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 265320, member: 6705"] When difficult child 1 was cutting - I didn't see it myself, but suspected, since she was also cutting up other things like shower curtains, bedding, etc. - we tried taking away razors, scissors etc. She found other things - pulled a nail out of the baseboard, found a pointy screw, safety pins... She even used a nail file to sharpen a plastic spoon. Once we found out [B]why[/B] she was cutting and she got some help and the right medications, it stopped (slowly faded). She talks about it now, asks questions, and so on. I still worry about it but I see a lot more of her than I used to (which isn't always a good thing). I think the docs taking her off medications to see where she was at was fine, but now that it's obvious something will need to be done for her ASAP. difficult child 1 was rather sporadic about her medications for a while. We made it clear that we were going to stand over her while she swallowed, and she has mellowed some so she complies... Till about a week ago. She spent the night at a friend's and forgot her medications. The hallucinations and anxiety were so bad she called at 8 AM to come pick her up. No arguments since then... I'm sending lots of hugs and some rhino skin for you, because I don't know what else to tell you. [/QUOTE]
