[QUOTE="klmno, post: 278363, member: 3699"] If he can and does process it and add things up better, that is great. I'm just starting to get worried that he might be more of a mental mess than I thought. Shouldn't he be able to get a little further along in his thought patterns? I mean, how can he talk like he wants to accomplish so much in school, yet then say all he cares about is having friends and hanging out, then say he'll beat up anybody. He's 14- shouldn't he know that no 2 of those 3 things are compatible with each other? Those are 3 completely different paths. As an afterthought- those 3 paths are exactly what I've been dealing with. Sometimes I'm trying to reinforce my and his goals of doing well in school and other activities, sometimes I was dealing with the friend issue with him, and sometimes it was a legal issue. He seemed to be plowing down 3 different directions for the past 3 years. I don't know anymore if it's BiPolar (BP) or not. Yeah, I was a mess as a teeen, too and I turned to drugs. It is amazing to me how lucky I got when I found the right therapist. She had my life turned around in 2 mos. But I saw several useless ones before getting to her and almost gave up. PS I like your avatar, Jena! [/QUOTE]
