[quote=Anonymous]I have had periods of this, and it comes back in brief flashes sometimes.

I work during the school day and it’s helpful to have to focus on other things. While they are at school there is not much you can do, and for anxious brains like mine, that’s stressful.

Have you been to therapy? I have several times and it helps some. There is a certain amount of acceptance that I think you have to find to be able to be a human yourself. Your child will have bad days. NT children also have bad days, although they look different; I have one of each so I know. I try really hard to accept that I’ve done my best every day, that I will get up and keep doing everything I can do but that both my kids learn through the negative experiences. I read a book called the scaffolding effect for parents of kids with ADHD and he encouraged the practice of at night or any time your kid is calm/relaxed consciously telling your brain “right now, for these 5 minutes my child is ok.” It took practice for me to recognize there were times my kid was ok and I could turn my brain away from them.

Please take good care of yourself.[/quote]
