Hi Pippy,
I really feel for you, I know what you are going through, as I had the same with my son.
If it's any consulation, he is now nearly 14 and has been on the correct medication for 6 years, and the anger seemed to disappear when he started his meds. His anger (mostly pointed towards himself) is the reason I agreed to medication. He used to try and throw himself out the upstairs window, thank god for child locks!
I know it's hard, but you will get there.
Keep pushing to see someone, be it paedatrician or psychologist. She really needs to be assessed.
do some research on bipolar disorder, what kind of dr do have a appointment with for her to see,she needs to be properly evaluated and diagnosed. Take her to a neuropsychologist, or a pediatric psychiatrist.
You are correct, this is not typical 6 year old behavior, but you cant know what to do until you have a solid diagnosis. Does she have an ADHD diagnosis or that is what you are waiting on?
my daughter is now harming her self by scraming her hands in temper and it makes a real mess on her hands she feels sorry for her self after she does it because it hurts her and she can see them in a state i have treid ignoring her when she goes into one but it makes no difference so when i say something to her she rants and says she does care and she hates me and wishes she was in a differnet family or wish i was dead its not normal for a 6 year old to be saying this i don't now which way is the best way to deal with her she hasn't starded on medication or seeing any one as i have to waite for a appointment can any one give me any advicewhen my daughter was born she had a massive brain bleed and they said she would be handycapt but she developted as normal as she could have she just tended to be alot buiyser than other children then as she got older her moods strted to chaange i feel that perhaps the brain bleed caused some damage some where ahich gives her the mood swing or perhaps there a hormone inbalance somewhere she does not feel soory for me if i am upset she is very gaurded she does't tell you how she feels she never sorry for being noity having 2 other children as well can be had as they are constantly arguing i just need a break sometimes but it is hard so are glad when they go to school to give me a couple hours to me self many thanks for all your replys [QUOTE=Diane V]she needs to be properly evaluated and diagnosed.
