Holy shit.  Did I just write this post?  I swear, you and I are living parallel lives, except my daughter is 11 and in 5th grade.  Get an evaluation done, stat.  We'd been living with the EXACT SAME situation as what you describe above for year and finally got an evaluation done in February. Like you, I was worried that she wouldn't be diagnosed with anything and it would all be for naught.  But she was diagnosed with ADHD inattentive type, and executive functioning disorder.  We recently started her on meds (recently, as in last Thursday) and not seeing any dramatic improvement so I think we're going to increase the dosage a bit. But it feels so much better to be actively doing something so I really encourage you to move forward with an evaluation.  Goodness. Your line about her being exhausting to parent is my life exactly.  I'm sitting here right now wishing my daughter would stop whining about how she can't do anything because she's too tired, when the truth is she can't figure out how to entertain herself because of her ADHD and EFD. It's not easy. Sending you lots of strength.[/quote]

Thank you thank you thank you. I feel so alone with everyone else seeing their kids grow up and be more independent. And mine just isn't. Mine still seeks me out every second and cannot be left alone. The best way to get her to bed is still to go upstairs myself because 100% sure she will follow me straight away. I never get a break. Sometimes work is easier than being at home. And she is a wonderful, bright kid who is my light. [/quote]
