[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP this sounds a fair amount like my DD: tantrums, meltdowns, and yelling to various degrees almost every morning before school (minus the head banging).  DD won't get out of bed for 20 minutes, then has a tantrum over something (can't find her hairbrush, the shirt she wants to wear has a stain on it, etc.)  Then running late for school and I tell her to hurry up.  She tells me to stop yelling, even though 99% of people would not describe me as yelling.  It's awful and it makes me feel awful for hours after on many days.  She was diagnosed with ADHD inattentive and anxiety several years ago.  I know you're desperate for a diagnosis but frankly a diagnosis doesn't necessarily solve the problem.  [/quote]

This is our life as well and same diagnosis. Meds help slightly, good sleep and balancing physical activity/personal time for her really helps. Electronics make it worse. Variety and exploration/bonding time is critical.

But mostly sleep and meds (of which she needs for sleep). Magnesium and meditation podcasts to wind down. [/quote]
