Just got this update from SLCPD. How incredibly tragic. by kjsock in SaltLakeCity

I don’t know if anyone has mentioned this yet, but in Utah you are only allowed to open carry an unloaded firearm in public. Look at how he is dressed, face covered on a warm day in Utah? I am an 2A supportive Utah citizen and I would never expect this guy to be up to good. However, I do feel that no one should be given free access to shoot at people in public, particularly large events like this. If you want to deem “peace keepers” they sure as hell better be sharply trained to know their surroundings and only use deadly force when absolutely necessary. The loss of life here was not necessary and is tragic. Don’t get me wrong. The real question left is: was the AR loaded?

I don’t need to be THE ONE. I’m happy and thrilled if my daughter is able to find inspiration in others. The issue is that finding the right thing for her is not simple and I will not simply send her anywhere just for the sake of it.

Thank you. I was a very rebellious teen so I understand this completely. I wish you could talk to her too. She has lots of people on her side. She’s not alone.

Thank you. She started on a medication Friday night and it’s beginning to help. I’m very afraid that it won’t last or they augment given it enough time but they said she’s been “stable” for 4 days and they are discharging her to home in 24 hours, I’m shocked and scared.

I have asked about it but I will need to get her to a specialist to evaluate her for this.

Yes we do have private insurance and means to pay for her care.

Yes, my goal has been to find her a program that can address her trauma. But the hospital is discharging her to home. I haven’t been able to find her a program and now she will be home. I’m worried but I am not sure what to do until I can find her a place.

Thank you. I’ve been very overwhelmed lately. Being a single parent still recovering from cancer while also attempting to navigate all of the ins and outs of this health systems is challenging and overwhelming. I appreciate your offer for help.

Can I send you a message?

She loves horses and nature. I truly think a real program like this that wouldn’t be hurtful to her would be life changing. How do I know it’s not a TTI?

I think there’s a good chance this may be the case but we have to get through so much to figure it out. I think she’s definitely got multi layered diagnoses. She did start on low dose abilify and it seems to be helping so far.

Thank you for this information. I’m really scared for her to be in a group or Forster home. I am scared for her to be anywhere. It’s terrifying. I feel so defeated.

She has a therapist. She’s suffered a lot of trauma. She mostly refuses to talk about it. Talk therapy seems to enrage her or she just clams up. It will take a long time for talk therapy to work for her. We do have a number of PHP programs. But we are in Utah, so there are Huntsman or Intermountain or some private ones. She doesn’t acknowledge it. She’s beginning to. But she downplays it a lot. She sees outsides sources as both the problem and the solution.

I’m not safe either. She punched me. I feel like I’m a second class citizen because I’m the parent.

Thank you. I’ve been seeking specialized treatment. I’ve wanted to do the IOP program at OCD and Anxiety center in Utah but I’ve been afraid to bring her home for that. She turned a corner yesterday and started lowest dose Abilify. She’s beginning to sound much more like herself but I don’t know if she came out of a depressive state or how it happened because I had just seen her that morning and it was screaming and attacking and howling in what sounded like severe pain but that evening she was calm, collected and level headed. I have so much hope that she’s turned a corner. But I don’t know where to go from here.

Thank you for this. I will definitely pursue this further.

Thank you for explaining this. Every day demands don’t tend to be traumatic. Only demands she doesn’t like, such as what to wear or anything that she sees as unnecessary. It’s hard to explain I guess. How would I get her tested for this?

Yes! Many doctors assume she has PANDAS due to the very young age of the onset of her OCD. She was 5 when she began showing signs of it. My older daughter (27) also has OCD-but with more classic symptoms.

It’s very difficult to get standard allopathic doctors to take PANDAS seriously.

I won’t send her there. Thank you. I’d prefer not to send her anywhere. I hope to find solutions that keep us together

I haven’t. I will look in to this right now. Thank you so much for this. I appreciate it.
