Guest guest Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 I certainly don't have full insight into the causes of 's rages.(insane, irrational, violent, destructive rages) There were many emotional factors: he changed radically in the fourth grade when his father left, but we didn't have the full-blown rages till sophmore HS. The girl he started dating was very emotionally unstable. He could not leave her-she would start popping pills, promising to kill herself, etc. She convinced him he had to be totally responsible for her well-being. I went to her parents house one night, looking for help-they said they trusted her completely to make the right decisions.) Yes, she finally got intense counseling and meds therapy. And I know I told U about the recreational drug element, and everything I tried to do to help with that, But the rages didn't stop till the day he graduated HS, and on that day-they stopped. So, I know not much of this scenario applies to Tyler-except maybe brain chemistry for different reasons-my only real offering here is that they stopped-cold. in Ma.

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 Tyler has had the mood swings to a degree starting at about the same time as . They intensified in early adolescence, no surprise there. Clearly the more he matures, the better he gets at self-managing the intensity of emotions. 95 - 99$ of the time, Tyler is easy going, and happy - when the ADD part is still clearly present, but not the mood swings. BUT if I see the change in his eyes, then I know it will only be a matter of time until something that I would consider minor will set off what I call a rage attack. In his usual state the triggers would not be a problem, he could cope with them. When he is in these other states, he cannot. It is not until pain of some sort stops the rage, that he then is exhausted, yet able to use his thinking brain. When his eyes change, one would think he was using recreational drugs - the scary part to me is that as yet there is no evidence that he has ever tried anything, which does fit with his extreme black and white thinking. I will hold onto the intention that the cycle in January will forever be his last!
