[quote=Anonymous]I'm at my wit's end and could use some advice. I am a single mother to a 6 year old with ADHD. Kid is great but very emotional, quick to tears, strong opinions about everything, often inflexible. Kid lives with me 100% and I work FT. I also have ADHD and anxiety. I tried ADHD meds for myself and they helped but made the anxiety much worse so I am not currently taking anything for the ADHD. Kid was recently diagnosed and has not taken ADHD meds. The daily grind is really wearing me out and I need to find a better way. Every day is a struggle and I am worn out. Kid resists and argues about every little thing so getting out the door in the morning is exhausting. I have an appointment with a psychiatrist to get some help with the ADHD and anxiety (for me.) But I could really use other suggestions on how to get through without every day feeling like a battle and wearing me out. [/quote]
