[quote=Anonymous]I have 2 kids with special needs that were diagnosed almost 4 years ago and although better I still struggle to come to terms that this is my life. One of them may not be able to live independently as an adult so it feels like it will never end.

I have a demanding job but make time to carve out self care like getting mani-pedi, have a therapist who is versed in special needs facilities, started Wellbutrin which was a big help. A huge help was finding other special needs moms who understand what you’re going through. I outsourced what I could like cleaning, organizing, etc to not burn myself out. I minimize what extra I do like volunteer for school, etc..

Pace yourself because this journey is topsy turvy and taking just an hour at a time. My mom told me you can only do your best and whatever happens even if the outcome is not good that’s it. You are your own entity separate from motherhood. It’s hard to remember that when you’re knee deep in this journey and finding therapies, etc..[/quote]
