So difficult child has been home for a few weeks and has been decent to get along with and hasn't gone overboard with wanting to go out and do stupid things - just normal teen outings that kind of thing. So, it's been pretty good. o You might recall that when he came home he asked me to look into getting...

Saw the new psychiatrist on Friday. I wasn't really all that impressed with him and it didn't help that difficult child was on his best behavior and told stories of rainbows and roses. Something to the effect of "I get good grades, get along with my family and I'm not depressed in the slightest...." Little snot...

Today Carson got his 1st six weeks report card. He had an A's, several B's and 2 C's. At the 3 week progress report time he was failing SEVERAL classes, due to him not doing work in class. One of his teachers, who I actually really like, said to me "Looks like he just needed a new medicine...

If any of you read earlier, I let my difficult child stay home because she was/is exhausted. We think from the Zoloft. But, when I left at 10:30 I asked her to come downstairs. I told her she could go back to sleep, but she didn't. So, when I got home this afternoon she has been in rare form. She has...

Hello, I need some advice, because I am at a complete loss. Recently my daughter was diagnosed with depression after an overdose. She is 15 and has always had mood swings and anger management problems, but after the overdose things have become worse than ever. She was put on Prozac which does...

Well, difficult child has finally done it. easy child decided last night that she is moving out, and into a friend's home. And, I am so ****** off right now. difficult child got what she wanted. Last night difficult child was ridiculous last night. We told her that she could not have phone/computer past 10pm. So at 8 she asked...

A little backstory....Little Bear started having a relapse of his aggressive/violent behavior about 6 days ago which was a shock. We tried to raise his Seroquel then lowered it back down which was the only medication change we made. He was put on Celexa which really helped the aggression and we had one...

Hi there I have a 9 yr. old son who was dxd with ODD and ADHD when he was 3yrs old I didn't put him on medication till he hit the first grade. Then we started behaviour therapy also. This past year he was finally diagnosed with sensory issues and some type of learning disability in the language area...

I just spoke to the psychiatrist about what to do with difficult child. The Celexa is abviously not taking care of the anxiety enough because we are still dealing with the temper tantrum and the screaming rages that have plagued us for years. He suggested keeping him at 20 mg of Celexa (dowm from 40) and adding...

Parent Teacher Conferences are this week for our School District. I get extremely anxiety ridden worrying about difficult child's conference. husband always goes with me so I don't have to face the music alone. difficult child's grades are usually A's or D's no happy medium. His teacher is way to laid back for...

My son who is 10 and has been hospitalized twice in the last 6 months for mental health reasons. The Dr.s diagnosed his with ADHD, ODD, SI. He is physically violent when he gets angry. He sometimes doesn't even remember going into these "rages" that sometimes will go on for hours. After his...

Let's try this again. This board hates me (not the people but the board itself) and everything I typed went AWOL!! difficult child 1 snapped big time this afternoon. He was fine one second and the next second (literally that fast) he wanted to live anywhere but here. No warning, no stress, no "situation"...

Warning: Rant ahead (go on to the next note if you've had enough rants) I tried twice to type in notes this weekend ... long notes ... but the computer ate them. Just as well. They were just rants, the same old thing. I can ditto Gcvmom's note. Homework isn't done. difficult child is in bed ... or on...

We had a good week this week. She made it to school on time all week. She even did a little bit of homework. (Not much but I am taking what I can get at this point.) She had a psychiatrist and therapist appointment., and talked during both. (normally she just sits and refuses to answer.) She even asked the...

So much for turning over a new leaf. I really had high hopes for her. But we are right back where we started from. She fell asleep on the chair at 5:30 last night, and didn't wake up until I got her at 6:15 this morning. And man is she pi55y. I helped her wash her hair, but she is whining...

Well we are trying another tact with difficult child 1's anxiety issues. He weaned off Celexa and while that has proved helpful for curbing his impulsive destructiveness when he was angry, it's made him even MORE irritable and verbally abusive, and he's easily overwhelmed. So now we are adding Remeron to...

Please excuse the ramblings of this post. I'm hoping that this makes sense and maybe ya'll have some advice for me. difficult child is headed to his second appointment with psychiatrist tomorrow. I'm very impressed with psychiatrist, he believes that most decisions should be parent and patient lead and he is willing to listen...

Hi, everyone! I am a mother to 2 difficult children, both girls, age 11 and 5. I feel like I am truly losing my mind. difficult child 1 (who will actually be 11 in 10 days) just started her third week of partial hospitalization. It looks like we will end up with diagnoses of ADHD-combined and ODD, with heavy emphasis on...

We had the appointment with the new psychiatrist on Thursday and it went very well. She really lived up to what I was hoping for from someone with her credentials. I wrote down and brought with me a written statement for her with everything about the situation - difficult child's current situation, physical and...

He's always broken alot of things in his tantrums/rages, but recently it's the hood over the oven- He hit it, and a couple screws fell out and now it's loose, one telephone and the earpiece to another, screen door, dresser drawer (kicked it), and probably more things that i can't think of right...
