I would start with your PCP and have a physical and share your emotional state with him, too.  He most likely will recommend an anti-depressant, which can take a few weeks to fully kick in.  At the same time, do you have any relative or friend9s) that you could share your need for a break with and see if they could give you some regular time off - even an hour here or there that you knew would be yours might be a great equalizer.  If there is a Dad who could be involved, try and see that it happens to give you a brake in care etc.

Depending upon where you live, I would also contact agencies serving children with special needs and possibly your local Dept. of Social Services to see what resources there might be for you in terms of respite and counseling on a free or sliding, fee scale.  Are there any support groups which could give you an honest outlet for your concerns and frustrations.

Finally, try and step back and see if there is a particular time of the day that is hard with your daughter or activity so that changes might be made.  For example if bath time is a battle, maybe do it in the morning first thing or only every other night.  If meal time is a battle, consider just making things she wants to eat during the work week.  Also, do you have too many or too high expectations for her which can happen at any age even before school starts.  If so try and talk about them with someone who knows your child - early intervention person, therapist or her teacher to put things in better perspective.

BUT above all else if you really feel you are at the end of your rope, then call your local DSS and ask for assistance and even possible temporary foster care placement till you can figure out what is best for you and your daughter.[/quote]
