Flowers, from a hope to be new friend.
thanks. May we find some peace.
I am so sorry that you are experiencing this. A lot of it is familiar. My son has anxiety disorder, has been a cutter, and has been in therapy for for years (he's 16). The sleep problems are familiar, too. We have found that over the counter sleep meds occassionally help him. Ambien was abused by him, so we stay away from that one. He also had a prescription for Roserem, but that, too can be abused and we never really used it. There is a series of relaxation tapes called "The Linden Method" which are great, and there have been periods where they have helped my son, but he is usually too agitated to do the exercises. We have other things in common, I'll send you a msg. Good luck with your daughter and welcome to DS.
Thank you for your message. I told my son last night that when he gets out of school next year he will be 19 and he has to either have his life in order or get out. I refuse to support a lazy 19 year old who will not drive the car I handed him payment free and refuse to get a job and care about nothing in his life but playing xbox all day. He has a total sickness with that he spent the entire summer in his room all day in his pj's playing that game never went outside for anything except once a week he cut the grass. He would not go to dinner, he turned his friends away everything. This game has been worse then a drug addiction he gets down right nasty when I say I am taking it away. If his dad were here he would not be this way. I know he is lost without him as they were so close my husband did so much with him, he was his son and he loved him so much, but he would have knocked him to another state before he allowed him to speak to me like he does or to spend 20 hours a day locked in his room playing a stupid game. So school starts Tuesday and I have already started the battle with my son I told him I was taken that game everyday at 10pm and he would be getting his license and he would be working some part time job and he could play his game in between that and if he did not like it he could get out and live in the street. God help me I know I could not do that so I am praying he will step up so it does not get to that point.
I am glad your daughter is doing well and they say that tough love does work but my lord what it does to us mom's is a killer. Thanks again and keep in touch.
i found out my teenage daughter is cutting herself.
I am new to this. i am not sure how it works. I just need some support. Found this site and thought it would be good to talk with others who are dealing with the same issues.
