[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have an almost 12 year old son with bipolar and when his meds are good, he is such a sweet boy with a heart of gold.  When the meds are off it is terrifying.  As a consequence of genetics and abilify, he weighs over 160 pounds and is 5 foot 5.  He can do real damage.  When raging he has broken windows and doors.  He has a hard time every spring and just blew up and punched me. His little brother is (justifiably) terrified as the older one ramps up and escapes to a neighbors for safety.  He was hospitalized in the Fall and it was the most horrible experience for everyone.  Just don't know how I'm going to keep riding this out.  Sorry.  Just needed to vent. [/quote]

I am so sorry OP. That must be so hard for all of you.

My brother has multiple developmental disabilities but high functioning and was 6'2 by the age of 15. My mother told me the best advice she ever received was "Take a break before you need one." Which I understand its so hard to put yourself first but if you can keep ahead of your own self care it might help. [/quote]
