[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 27485, member: 1697"] the sad truth is many parents DO seek Residential Treatment Center (RTC) for their kids, and they DO seek better help via medications and docs, but......sometimes it simply does not work. There is no one magic pill, no magic dose, no one accomodation or modification that works. What you are describing sounds kinda like it could be a full blown panic attack. If a person is in a full blown panic attack, they are not here in the here and now reality, they have undergone certain physical events that change how their body is functioning and they really are not there for you to talk to. They flip into a fight or flight mode. It sounds like he may have flipped into fight or flight and was scared and afraid and was desperately trying to find something real and physical he could hold on to maybe like a tie to the here and now and reality, but maybe it was not working. I am not sure- here if you went to Learning Disability (LD) resource room, you would then get all the kids who have gone to that degree or so of anxiety and symptoms. Here our kids who are having a hard day in class go to resource room. Are you certain thats where you want to be? I keep thinking of that child and keep worrying that maybe his mom IS trying to get help- but......there are LONG wait lists to get help, LONG wait lines to get evaluations, LOTS of red tape, financial struggles, etc.........and even once a child is evaluation'ed and in treatment, it is SO hit or miss........so trial and error, and so many of the medications can make kids worse instead of better. It can take years to find something that "works" and even then, there can still be breakthru problems. As for us parents here? Well, a lot of us wound up in this situation without any choice on our part. This is just how things worked out, these are our kids. Not a "job" we can "quit" - Our life, our hopes and dreams are wrapped up somewhere in these children. We have HUGE investments in these children. Gosh I had 14 miscarraiges, tried for 16 years to have a child, and then I had my first difficult child. [/QUOTE]
