Re: Emotional Health

[Guest guest]

This sounds pretty good to me - my 5yo regular daughter expresses all these

emotions within five minutes!

My son is very emotionally challenged at present. And now is beginning

to find the words to express himself and what is going on. I'm glad we are

seeing this - but boy its tough at times.

Emotional health

Hi, just increased his Celexa dose from ¼ and ½ on alternate day

to ½ of 20mg every day over the weekend. Past a few days I noticed

some emotional issues: On Sunday, at a play date with one of his best

friends, he complained that his friend does not want to play with

him. On Monday, he said he thought his was weird. Yesterday, he said

he was dumb because he tripped on his own pencil Ten times, (among

some other friendship issues).

I thought it was too much emotion, feelings for three days, I wonder

how much I can contribute it to Med; how much I can contribute to his

improving awareness. Has any of you see similar emotional issues, and

what did you do to make sure it does not turn into a bigger problem

later?

Thank you very much,

Jin

Jin,

In our experiences with our child (this may or may not apply to others), we

have seen several types of changes that happen with an SSRI.

One type of change brings a more connected, curious child (that can be great

but can also bring new challenges as they explore).

Another type of change we have seen is the onset of bizarre behaviors, such

as the spitting problem I posted about last week (at least I think I did!).

Along with spitting all over the house, my son walked over and turned on the

stove (without permission) for the first time in his 8 years. He picked his

fingers more intensely. He sort of lost his common sense. Another time

when his SSRI was too high he yelled out how to spell a word in the middle

of a spelling test. His teacher commented to us that he was making " poor

choices " . When we reduced the dosage, all of the above things stopped or at

least decreased significantly.

A third sort of change has been exhibiting temporary behaviors as he adjusts

to a higher dosage. He used to stim a lot each time we upped the dose.

Bedwetting has gotten worse, then improved. I remember that once he went

through a phase of blinking or squinting a lot.

I don't think I'm much help because I can't tell you why is acting

differently, but for us when he starts to act really bizarre, it has been

because the dose was a bit high.

,

Thanks. used to tell me he does not play with somebody any more,

he is different, and do not care about many thing that is going on by

him. But his recent emotions are obvious more than that. I am really

worry about him all of sudden experience all this emotion, if I do

not be careful, he will grew somehow unhealthy emotionally if he do

not learn to deal with it. He was actually telling me he thinks his

weird, and he like to be dumb.

I wrote a note to his teachers, and they have very good response, and

help him " making right choices " , and dealing with his emotional

crisis when it happen in classroom. I hope they will be effective.

Hi Liz

Your doing the message reply thing ok.

The important thing is that the SUBJECT LINE reflect the topic your discussing.

It is ok to leave the message you are replying to also.

Then those who are reading know what you are replying to.

If we sometimes forget and leave more messages its not a really big deal.

We all do that from time to time, but we should try for the sake of those on Daily Digest, and for those researching the Message feature.

My opinion is that your Advice Nurse is dead wrong.

Any physical trama to our bodies, also affects us mentally.

If you have a tooth ache your not a happy camper.

The same applies to any other health issue.

Its tough being informed you have a deadly disease.

Your body is upset, and now your head is upset.

Throw in treatments, and you have a physical/psychological cocktail thats sometimes very hard to deal with.

Add to that mix, having an INFECTIOUS disease, and the social stigmas can really be hard.

Your Advice Nurse may have been trying to relieve you of stress, but I believe the truth is always best.

You should know every aspect of the health issue you have to deal with.

We rely on our medical professionals to keep us fully informed, and when they fail to do so, its not them that has to pay the price.

It is us.

I have been trying to engage the group in discussions about the mental and social aspects of HCV, in addition to the physical issues.

There are 3 [three] sides to health topics - physical, mental, social - each very important.

Please feel free to comment on any of them.

I'm new to the group and am trying to do the message reply right.Iam stage and grade 3 and have done therapy once. My advice nurse told me that my emotional waves was not do to HCV. Well, I disagree. Your body will respond the same way your emotions do. So to the people who have said the same thing in this group, I agree.Take care,Liz------------------------------------

I know what you mean about some "professionals" and I have looked for the best doctors while in an HMO system. My husband also has HCV and thinks he got it when he was a sheriff many years before gloves. He is grade and stage 1. I need a nap, so I'll talk later.

Take care,

LizThe nurse tried to tell you that the emotional waves were not due to HCV or the treatment???? You need to find a Hep C nurse, they have the knowledge. Of course the emotions are highly affected!! Did you know that if a person has a history of emotional problems, most Gastro's will not treat, because of the effect from treatment. This last treatment for me was highly emotional!!! I'm usually the person everyone looks to for strength and in this past year, I've turned a lot of so called friends off because I became so needy. However, I will be forever grateful to the Hep C nurses - they were with me whenever I called.Gloria

Well, I had a bad case of athletes foot once and was telling people asll about it. I got all sorts of advice. Like piss on it, cover it in bleach, go to the beach. They all seemed to have an effect but in the end none of them worked. Then I talked to a guy that had athletes foot and got over it, and he suggested tolnaftate, which worked. I think I'll do the same with Hep C.Randy

Did anyone else notice that there seems to be a contradiction in this article?

When speaking of ourselves:

It does not matter, what happened to you when you were growing up, or how you were abused, or what traumatic incident accident happened. That is the past. What matters is what you do about it NOW.

When speaking of others:

it is oftentimes helpful to discover the "root" from where it all started, or why it happened, and this insight, and understanding, of why a person is the way they are, or why they have done the things they have done, may make forgiveness and love possible.
