[QUOTE="StressedM0mma, post: 552715, member: 13204"] Lonely, I am so sorry that this is happening. We are right there with you. I know things are somewhat different with your difficult child. I have actually gotten somewhat nasty with difficult child this year. And I hate every second of it. But,I make her get up and get in the car. And if/when she has refused to get out, I get out of the car and physically remove her from the car if need be. Usually just the threat of me getting out is enough because there are other kids around. And, I hate every minute of having to do it, but I know it is what she needs to do. I so wish that you could get her into the hospital. I think she needs it. I think she needs her medications at least adjusted. But it seems as if she needs something more than just the abilify to control the anxiety. And, I do not know how University works where you are, but is it really going to matter if she moves down in a couple of classes? That has been the hardest thing for me to come to terms with. That MY goals for difficult child had to change when all of this came to a head. That what I want for her life may not be a realistic goal. And, for the most part I am OK with it. But there are days I still mourn the brilliant girl I lost. I know I have asked before, but how far away is the closest children's psychiatric hospital? Is there an outpatient program she could go to? I know online isn't an option since you, like us want her in school. But, what about a compromise? My difficult child is taking one course online, but she takes it at school. They have a classroom dedicated to online learning. So, she is still at school. Hugs. Hope there are better days to come.
