Well Miguel’s depressed. He refuses meds until he gets re-diagnosed. Which I can understand but he refuses to see a therapist too. He’s sleeping all the time and refusing to take showers. He will literally sit on the toilet and run the shower vs. actually just showering. It took us three hours today of fighting get him in the actual shower. Now he’s refusing to get dressed.

He’s also has grabbed my wrist to take his phone back from me yesterday. Why did I take his phone? Because it was 3:30 pm and he refused to get up and yelling at me. He hasn’t gotten physical with me in many years. Now he’s 6’2” and almost 200 lbs he can’t be doing that. We’re trying to be very understanding bed by midnight up by 3 pm. I know that’s a long time but I’m sure he’s up after midnight and awake by 3 but it’s an argument just to get him to put his feet on the ground. So we put it off. He can’t hurt himself (besides picking and scratching) because everything is hidden (sharp objects and pills) except the steak knives.

I don’t know what to do with / for him. Is this normal teen rebellion or is it depression?
