6 year old with a major tude

by Jacki Brockett
(Ottawa,IL)

OMG!!! I don't know what to do my 6 year old daughter has been out of control for a long time now her father and I have been split up for 3 months now and it has gotten worse. I have had her in counseling for 3 years now and that seems to make it worse than it should. She tells me that she hears voices in her head and that they tell her to do mean things and to act mean all the time. She has even told me that she wants to kill me and that she is going to stab me and even do the same to herself and her siblings. We can not take this anymore what do I do I'm going to lose it. PLEASE HELP ME

My 6yo has also told me she is going to kill me, has tried to smother me and her older sis w/ pillows and blankets, and physically attacks us. Once she said she was going to cut me up w/ a chainsaw, throw the pieces in the yard and stomp on them, and then give my parts to the neighbors. I asked her where she'd get a chainsaw and she said, Steal one. Doc and psych docs don't seem impressed. She is diagnosed as OCD w/ general anxiety and symptoms of ADHD (but not ADHD) and SI issues.

Do you think the stress of starting school has anything to do w/ this? I was afraid she was bi-polar b/c she acts like my mother and that's what the docs say when I describe my mother's behavior to them. She has some allergies so she is taking Singulair at night. It really helps her sleep better so she feels better and is calmer. She just started OT for the SI and loves it, but it is only 1 hour a week. I wish I had more advice for you, but all I can really give you is empathy. I do think sleep is a factor. Diet probably also factors in b/c she is such a picky eater that she doesn't get enough/ the right kind of foods. Her foodlist has gotten shorter in the past few months. :( I haven't had to call in the authorities yet, but there have been times when I thought I might need to. Good luck. You are not alone.

WOW I am so sorry to hear that. That is one thing I have been trying to avoid and hope that it never gets to that point. I took her to the Dr. yesterday and he told me that she is bi-polar and is getting her into see a psychiatrists so I will see where it goes from there an let everyone know.

I can seriously relate to this. If she is not getting better in therapy get a different therapist. Find all the resources you can. My daughter tried to smother me when she was 6. We had to put her impatient in a mental health facility. She has sensory processing disorder, ptsd, odd, seizure disorder and impulse control disorder.
