She's been really moody. Turns out she's relapsed a bit. She got super depressed the other night and tried to cut with a dull exacto blade. She did say that it didn't work for her like it used to, so I guess that's progress. I guess. I just wish it would all go away - the depression, the cutting, the anger, all of it.

Last night was rough. All she wanted to do was IM late into the night. We made her log off about 11pm and go to bed. I'm not sure how late she stayed awake in her room. This morning she had a very difficult time waking up. She didn't get out of bed until 5 minutes before it was time to walk out the door. This, of course, set the whole morning off kilter for all of us. It looks like we're going to have to restrict some priviledges - probably recreational computer time and television viewing.

Her new med management shrink is a nice lady, at least. She's an older grandma type, but she seems very cool. She's Cherokee, comes from line of medicine women, and holds a PhD and an APRN. She believes in taking both a traditional western and a holistic approach to medical treatment. This falls right in line with our beliefs. Our daughter will continue on with the Prozac but add a GABBA compound to it. Our collective hope is to someday be able to have her live life without the pharmacueticals. We'll see.
