[QUOTE="klmno, post: 230651, member: 3699"] Well, he suddenly switched gears on me last night. It might have been wrong, but I looked for any tiny pill or half pill of a previously rx'd AP to knock him out. I figured he'd take it because he had been in the "elated" and hyper-focused mode. But, I had gotten rid of them all. Then, he locked himself in the rooom with the computer- my guess is that the compulsion hit to look up porn (another of his indicators of mania) and I could see by the way he became defiant about "defending" what he wanted to do instead of being willing to talk or anything else that he was in mania at that point. Music with filthy lyrics were turned up pretty loud. Every so often he'd be hitting the door- now it has holes in it. I went to my room with our 2 dogs. He came in my rooom (slid through the privacy lock), grabbed my keys and went to the car. Came back in house and threw keys on floor. I had taken the phone to my room, I was scared to death that he'd gotten the knife that was locked up in the trunk, so I called 911 and hung up. I didn't wANT them keeping me on the phone 1/2 hour if difficult child was walking around the house or locked up in a room with a knife. Then, I went outsiide and checked the trunk- the knife was still in the trunk. Shewww..... Cop came anyway, I explained what was going on. We talked about difficult child not exactly qualifying for acute, per tdo requirements, but they came in and talked to him anyway, hoping maybe he'd willingly go to psychiatric hospital. He didn't. I told cop I'm getting something applied for today- somehow- Oh, he did take the knife off my hands. I was thankful- I told him I'd been scared to just throw it in the trash. (This is the knife I found 2-3 mos ago- not the little camping knife that was part of eating utensils) Anyway, he did go to bed about 45 mins after cop left. Now, of course, he won't get up. And- it was the camera he'd gotten out of the car. Good thing I called cops and found camera with difficult child- otherwise, he would have taken picture of self- or some part of self- and put on internet. I felt pretty dumb for making light of it all earlier when I thought this was just going to stay at a hypomanic, elated mode. [/QUOTE]
