Thank you for your responses. I have been trying to keep him distracted as well as trying to have him replace his negative thoughts with positive ones. Both help some but not much. He is extremely attached to me and already sleeps with me most of the time. He is constantly near me and hanging on me even more so right now. I am not worried that he or anyone is in imminent danger as he has never at any time shown ANY inkling of violence toward himself or anyone else. But I am monitoring him closely and reenforcing him positively all the time.
I am hanging in there. I am stable but I am the one struggling with this the most (besides him of course). I understand what my parents went through with me and I never dreamed of how painful it could be. The hardest day was Christmas because, except for the morning, he was upset and crying over his “bad thoughts” and I wanted the day to be perfect for all my babies. My husband is the one that recognized it could be because of the medicine due to the timeline. I believe it was the very next day that we restarted. And, maybe that will still fix it. Fingers crossed. I have been hoping for this but I’m starting to think that’s not going to happen; thus, the call to my pdoc today. I was also planning to tell my t next week and see what she has to say and if she wants to see him. Maybe I should call her sooner too?
