Hello I was so excited when I found this site. I was looking in hopes of finding some support and well just someone to talk to that understands. I will start out by telling you that my 10yr old daughter is bipolar1, OCD, ODD, sensory sensative and has frontal lobe seizures. My daughter is just getting to be to much for me to handle. She has been seeing psyc docs since around 3yrs old (early onset bipolar) from the time she was born she would beat her head and face on the floor or whatever was closest, try to bite you if you kissed her, her body would stiffen if you tried to hold her close, be playing one minute and the next in a rage. She has smeared poop on walls and floors, killed animals, says her imaginary friends want her to kill people while they sleep, stabbed me, bit, thrown things, trashed the house and hospital ers, eascaped from and beat up officers, takes six trained in restraint to hold her down. So much more, to much to tell. Anyways she goes to a special needs school with 2 teachers 5 students per class and a mental health worker in school. I have to go pick her up constantly because she is being restrained. I cant restrain her anymore she is 10 and 145lbs. I cant punnish her in any way because as soon as I turn my back she attacks me with whatever is closest which in the past has been pencils, hammer, teeth, chairs, vases and on and on. No one can stand to be around her. I cant take her anywhere. Im just so lost. Ive had every specialist in my home and taken her to every specialist. She is on ALOT of medicine and has been hospitalized several times. They said she is at the point where I need to institutionalize her before she kills me(which she has said she is going to do in my sleep) or herself. I have woke up before with the feeling of someone in my room when my eyes focussed, there she was just standing in the corner of my room staring at me and she asked "Are you dead yet?" I know this is long and I could probly go on for a couple hours. My thing is that in order to institutionalize her I would have to sign her over to the state and I cant do that. My eighteen yr old moved out because she is scared of her.
