My difficult child just turned 9 in January. She started her rages when she was 5. The first time she had a rage, it scared the day lights out of me! I looked in her eyes and she just wasn't there. That rage lasted 3 hours. Her first doctor was a neuro psychiatric who said she was ADHD and potentially bipolar. I...

Hi there - I am new here and so glad I found a place where I don't feel alone. I love being a mom to my two kids, but some days the blessings seem so far away and the minute to minute survival seems sooo exausting. After raising a bio girl difficult child 1, we chose to adopt male difficult child 2 at age 5, when she...

I have been gone for a little while. My son went to visit his grandparents, which is what I feel he needed. He got spoiled by my parents and brother. His trip was all about him finally. So when I got to the airport my mom surprised me with a visit for 1 month. I could not belive she was...

Today my son's school called me because he threw a desk at a student and cursed at everyone. When they put him on the phone with me I told him to apologize but he kept saying no. He finally apologized but in a really mean way. I spoke with the assistant principal and told her that he would only...

Hello everyone, I am new here to this place. I have never been apart of a support group but this place seems like a great place to share stories and offer advice. I don't know exactly where to begin so I'll start with introducing myself as MyHrt (MyHrt) stands for MyHeart which is my son because...

I'll start with the history to help. Since 2002 my middle one has been in treatment. Initial diagnosis was simply ADHD inattentive with ODD and just didn't do well with school. She was born with some physical stuff that was addressed early in life that didn't really disrupt her life too much but...

I am new to this group. My 12 year old son was just diagnosed with a Conduct Disorder. We have been working with a psychologist and psychiatrist for over a year and nothing seems to be working. We have tried Trileptal. He has been suspended from school at least once a week. He is very...

My son Seth, is 10 years old and in the 5th grade. He has behaviour issues at school that the teachers and I have discussed. He has been placed in the In School Suspension program several times for his behavior. The teachers and I stay in contact daily. He brings home all of his classwork, and...

Hello everyone: I am very new to this support site, so please bear with me as I don't yet know all of the lingo here. I will try my best, and I'm sorry if this is too long. I am desperate for help. I have a child, or difficult child, who is the age of 12 right now. He is my youngest of 3 boys and...

Hey everyone. difficult child's little brother was referred to the psychiatric due to his hyperactivity. So about 2 weeks ago we tried Stattera. First week I noticed that he seemed calmer. He wasn't running from couch to couch to stuffed chair literally diving head first, and then doing it over again. The...

difficult child and I spent 2 hours in the evaluating psychologist's office today. In those two hours I had to restrain difficult child twice, put her at parade rest four times (what I use instead of time out, works much better for us... also prompted the psychologist to ask if I was prior military, oops I guess it...

Hi All, Last night during my 8 yr old difficult child's rage.... he started kickin the living room window while laying on the sofa. I was telling him to knock it off, and to use his "coping skills" and I turned to walk away to go cool down as I was getting very frustrated with him and he decided to throw...

HI My youngest has been on Zoloft for two weeks (one week at 25 mg and one week at 50 mg). His behavior has become increasingly disruptive in class and he was suspended yesterday for the second time in a week for kicking a kid hard, apparently pretty much unprovoked. He is a big physical kid...

My 14 year old son was diagnosed last year with Bipolar, ADHD, and ODD. We've been messing with medications for a year now, with the plan to get his moods stabilized first before worrying about his ability to focus. He was doing pretty good with a combination of depakote and abilify, so over the...

Well, to make a really long story sort of short, a year ago today difficult child was released from her first psychiatric hospital stay for brandishing a knife at herself and her stepdad, and threatening to kill herself because the dogs interrupted her youtube viewing. Things seem to have only gotten worse. She may not...

So both difficult child's have appts with psychiatrist today. I am just not sure what to tell her as to how they are doing, being as I have not been doing so well myself. difficult child son got in a fight 2 weeks ago at school, but really has not been doing too badly. I am concerned as the school psychiatric who did some...

I feel like I only come here when I'm in crisis. Apologies for that. Maybe one day I'll have my stuff together enough to give advice rather than plead for it. difficult child started Lexapro a week ago because of anxiety-ish symptoms. His dr. gave us a sample months ago because of his anxiety reaction any time...

I'm waiting to get him in to see neuropsychologist.(he's on a waiting list) Been doing alot of research. difficult child has symptoms of every mental illness and disorder out there. the has aspie traits (many) and...

I did a bad thing. I decided to try the summer with no medications on board. DS is 12 and hasn't had a change in medications, other then the addition of Abilify about 5 months ago, in the last three years. I thought I'd regret it terribly, would have to slowly ramp up the dosages to where they were again and...
