per therapist at partial. I was on the phone with her today because psychiatrist still, since Thursday, has not returned a phone call or email. She's about ready to get fired
therapist confirmed my thoughts - mania - rapid cycling. Racing thoughts - noisy, disruptive (although not intentional - singing, humming, tapping, unable to stop), non stop talking about really nothing. Although she's not a psychiatrist, I think the two of us together have made our own diagnosis of this issue. She also said although the obsessive compulsive thoughts (which are constantly getting worse) are symptomatic of Aspergers - they can also be tied to BiPolar (BP), but we're still not going there. We're still at Mood Disorder-not otherwise specified, which really - whatever.
I mentioned Klonopin, because Buspar isn't working. She thought that would be good to talk about (that whole line - Ativan, Xanex, etc). Going up on Seroquel - again, still waiting on psychiatrist She mentioned Celexa. *sigh* @ antidepressants. Ahh.
I don't know if we'll visit MS's again. Dunno what to do. But, it's clear my baby is struggling. He's not learning at all. The partial part is OK (not great but OK) - but academics, nothing gets done.
His interaction is all inappropriate. Everything's about a rear end (butthead, buttcrack, butt something or other) or crack something (crackhead, crackbaby). Dunno where these words (especially the crack stuff) come from, and we mostly ignore it, but do reinforce it's inappropriateness.
therapist is concerned because if D is not getting anything from the partial, the next step is Residential Treatment Facility (RTF). The next Residential Treatment Facility (RTF) is an excellent psychiatric facility, but 2 1/2 hours away. I have been postponing and trying to delay it as long as possible. But, I'm so worried it's inevitable.
Thanks for listening to me whine. Blah - cruddy day
