[QUOTE="totoro, post: 69599, member: 3155"] So thing have been going pretty well... since K got out of the psychiatric hospital. she was trying really hard. We have had a few bouts of violence and episodes. But all in all better! This past or so she has been obsessing about various things. Her normal thing is a party everyday... we have to pretend we are having a party it is a big dramatic event. Whether it is my party, husband, N's, or a stuffed animal... this is all make believe. We can usually talk her down and say breakfast was the "party". So last week she started on this camping fixation. Would not stop, "I want to go camping" "How come we never go camping" "Please can we go camping?" stuff like that, so on Thursday (husband is gone this week) I said OK we will go backyard camping. (With N's anxiety and issues we can't really go camping right now) SO they were super excited... I set up the tent, got the little grill. We cooked out in the backyard, made s'mores, and slept outside!!! It was fun... (I did not really sleep) So they wanted to leave the tent up until Daddy gets home Monday am... They have not set foot in the stupid thing nor mentioned it once, since!!! Because I will not sit with them in it... So I took it down today!!! SO then right after she starts on snakes!!! We found 3 snakes while gardening the other day and let them go. We do this all the time with no issues. SO then we find another the next day, K puts it in with her Hermit Crab over night, then we let it go. This was on Wednesday. So Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and today she has done nothing but obsess about snakes, "Can we go find a snake?" "Where do you think we can find one" "Why can't we find one?" She won't stop I have spent hours looking for a frickin' snake and can't find one and trying to not get mad at her, trying to encourage her to look on her own... we have had crying, depression, anger, complete freak outs over this!!! It has not stopped... [img]:nonono:[/img] I will get her to do something else and literally 5 minutes later, "OK can we go look for a snake now" I have her in the house right now watching a movie... but she still is cutting things up making "art" projects, she can't stop... Last night was the first time she has ever refused a medication, first she walked up to N and stomped on her drawing, which is very unlike K, then lost it. I had to put N in her safe place, and K kept saying, "why don't you bite me?" and things like she hated me and she would not take her medications or go to bed, she has not been like this for awhile... I just sat there and told her " we have all night to do this" "I am not leaving you, I am here for you and will not leave you' She finally said "fine I am going to bed then" but would not take her medications and layed in bed screaming, louder than I could!!! until she passed out. She spent 10 minutes on her "art" project and is now pacing and just grabbed some blocks... those will last less than 10 minutes. Poor kid. I just don't know where the fixation is coming from.... her moods seem elevated also but she is obsessing and fixating on things and letting them dominate her whole day and mood. I have our psychiatrist call in tommorrow, thank goodness. She starts school after labor day. So we have a week left. I just don't know about the Strattera still, and the Abilify I don't think is the best for her. Sorry this is so long, it seems like something is in the air!!! thanks for listening [/QUOTE]
