[quote=Anonymous]Burn out is real at work and parenting a child with special needs is more than equivalent to an intense job. It is hard to think that you are burnt out from your own children, but I really believe it happens. Self-care can help, but it is really hard to find the time discipline to put yourself first. ANd I have troubel convincing myself that I will be happier after a walk than a Reeses' cup. I agree with all of the previous posters -find a professional to talk with -find a group of supportive parents (perhaps DCUM) -get medication if that is indicated For me the icing on the cake is that when I am anxious/ stressed- it makes my kids 1000 times more anxious/ stressed themselves. So no pressure there.[/quote]
