I need some comfort, nobody gets it, people try to help, my mom will say, "let me keep him a few days so you can get a break." Don't get me wrong, a break is great, but the reality is still there, he leaves for two days, and the peace in the house is GREAT, but he comes home and all the peace is gone, it almost makes me more resentful to get that kind of break!!!!

Yes he has several diagnosis, they vary in which is primary depending on the doc who has tested/seen him.
Here is the complete list...TS, ADHD combined type/difficult to treat, Bipolar NOS, ODD, Anxiety, Conduct Disorder, R/O Anxiety disorder.....I think that is it.

He does see a psychatrist (I do too), and we do therapy.

He is on Adderall XR, Clonidine, Trileptal, Cogention, Adderall, Abilify. Trazadone, Melatonin, Zyprexa Zydis prn.

He is going to be taken off of the Trileptal and put on Lithium in a few weeks, unless the doc can get us in sooner.

I just want all this to get better, I want everyone else to know/see the good in him.....its there, I haven't seen it in a while, but it is in there.

I have a question, no one else understands what I am saying/seeing....He is in a manic type state right now, and I can see it in his eyes. I can't explain it, but his eyes tell me he isn't himself, almost like "the lights are on but nobody is home". Even if he is not highly active, and I can engage him for a few min....when I look him in the eye I see "lost" eyes looking back at me, its almost like he doesn't really "get it" Is that making any sense?
