Like, all the time.
I came and said how well D was doing, didn't I?
Well, he was. And then, a couple of weeks ago, something happened. I don't know what. He started talking - more - alot - like, from wake up til bedtime, it was one very, very long run on sentence that never ended. I dunno if it was mania - I dunno if he was having racing thoughts - because honestly, I have to tune him out. If I don't, my own anxiety gets so bad I can't swallow.
The anxiety is back. Worrying about every one, every thing, every everything. How is he making it through the day?
This week has been hard. B has been sent home, again, from his 4th Residential Treatment Facility (RTF). We didn't tell D - knowing the anxiety, so he didn't know when all this started. I'm sure B being home, now, adds, but whoa.
Disrespectful. Loud. Soooooooo loud. So incredibly hyper.
The Concerta - doing nothing. I tell psychiatrist this Friday (he started the Saturday before, has been on now 8 days) he's having problems, she says, let's add Ritalin at 4 LOL!!!!!! What the huh? Well, if he's super hyper ALL DAY, what is Ritalin gonna do at 4? I swear, I am so done with psychiatrists. Seriously. Every one I have ever dealt with has been an idiot. How do these people go to school for 8 YEARS? and PASS? LOLOL what?
I emailed her and told her to keep her scripts (she MAILS them to me, hahaha, whatever). The Buspar - doing nothing. Seroquel - probably fizzled out, just like every other AP does. We just recently tried Tegretol - I swear, even though he's Autism, he's definately got SOMETHING going on mood wise. Why can nobody figure this out? Why? Anyway - we tried Tegretol, and D got dizzy, sick, felt horrible. Was the first drug he ever refused to take. I know my son. We d/c right away.
I'm so tired. I think he's busting tail all day long to hold things together (he is still being compliant, and doing what he's told) and by, say, 3 or 4 PM, he just can't anymore. He's continuing to do what he's told, but whining, complaining, yelling, just so inflexible. Frustrated and angry.
I just want to cry. I needed to vent.
I have this support page for moms with BiPolar (BP) kids, too. I don't even want to sign in. How the heck can I possibly give advice to anyone when I can't even get my own kid straight LOL!? I feel like a loser
