actually wanted to be admitted to a behavioral center as an inpatient? Our 13 y/o told us about 6 months ago, & also told her therapist she wanted to stay for a few days at our local behavioral center. For the past several months she has seemed fine (30mg. Prozac & 1 mg. of Abilify) and hasn't mentioned it, but yesterday she told a speaker at school that she was going to kill herself last night if it weren't for his great speech, and since yesterday seems down. We have had bouts with anorexia before and for the past 2 days she has hardly eaten a thing, even tonight when we took her to her favorite restaurant. She wanted to go skating and when DH took her tonight she was so gloomy. The behavioral center thing came up again briefly yesterday. We have always lived a pretty traditional life and love her more than life itself and she knows that. She is gifted, active in music (choral, band and church choir) and is an amazing softball player. We are ALWAYS present and cheering her on at events. I do also know that being adopted really bothers her. I just don't get why she would want to be admitted to a facility like this though. Can anyone shed some light on it for me? Maybe I'm missing something.
Thanks!
