[QUOTE="scent of cedar, post: 606754, member: 1721"] Has difficult child researched returning to school in Florida? *********** I wonder about the connection between drug use and mental illness, too. It seems to me that when our brains work differently already, the last thing we should do is mess ourselves up even more with anything that effects how the brain works. My difficult child too, seems to be doing better since stopping street and prescription drugs. She tries to be aware of her mental state. While she was here, she got herself into an extended crying jag/depressed feeling. We were quite concerned and discouraged. difficult child's exDH was here, too. He told difficult child (and us) that difficult child had been sad since they had gone through old pictures from when the kids were little, together. (Two of difficult child's kids are not with her.) With that naming of where the emotions had come from...difficult child's mood lifted. She saw the mood, not as an indication of a depressive illness, but as a rational response to something real and very painful. So, how much of what our kids are going through is insurmountable without ever stronger medications? An interesting question. I am happy to hear that your daughter is able to function well on less medication. That is such good news! Those mental illness diagnoses are scary. And inaccurate, half the time, too. Cedar [/QUOTE]
