[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 9 year old with adhd and anxiety is similar. Much better now that we understand the diagnosis and have medication. Focus on getting an eval so you know what he and you need next.[/quote] I could have written this response word for word (I checked the date to make sure I didn't!) Yes, focus on that eval and getting answers. Mine is 10 now. 7 it was awful. Every day was awful. Everything was awful. Therapy wasn't working (she wasn't interested and it was zoom). We read all the books. We tried all the strategies. At 8 we got the anxiety dx and started meds. Things got a lot better, but still plenty of bad days. At 9 we got the ADHD diagnosis and meds and a better therapist and I adore my now 10 year old. She's not perfect. Some situations go away. But all the supports in place are working and I no longer think we are doomed, like I did at age 7. I pushed hard to get those answers and the supports. Hang in there![/quote]
