[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am melting down right now and have locked myself in my study. I am so overwhelmed by my children's needs and don't know how to help them. I'm all tapped out. And please don't say seek a therapist- I spend 1/2 my time running to different therapy appointments, specialist appointments etc. I'm so tired of the phone calls, 'we need some new strategies for Larlo.' I haven't a clue how to help him. I'm particularly exhausted that I say [u]I[/u] have to have a time out in order to avoid losing it and now my children are losing it outside the door because I am upset. [/quote] I hear you and I have been there. I’m hoping that you are beginning to feel better now. When my husband was working FT and going to night school to get another degree. That was three very, lonely scary years and I have had to do what you are doing right now. Sometimes I set up the iPad with a movie and hid in my room for a couple of hours. It’s okay, you are doing what you have to do survive. I joined a SN mom’s support group and we all agreed it was life saving to have a fellow SN mom who would drop everything to talk when one of you is in crisis mode. It can help fast at times like this. Do you know anyone that you might be able to do that with? Sending hugs[/quote] thankyou- and thankyou if you are the person who reported the nasty response and had it deleted. I have friends- but I don't know who I can just call- partially b/c I don't really know what my problem is- I'm just totally overwhelmed by all the needs, and then loose it over minor things.[/quote]
