[quote=Anonymous]When co-workers are talking about how brilliant their kids are or talking about milestones and joys you just can't share in the same way, that is going to be painful. We have all gone through some form of depression related to our reality vs our expectations for our child/our own life. I was on an anti-depressant for about a year after my child was diagnosed with ASD. It really helped me. I also took a parenting class and found support groups of parents who are going through similar struggles. You don't say how old your child is. Are you getting respite care? Enough family support? These things really matter as well in terms of your day-to-day mental well-being. Good luck! [/quote]
