[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm the mom of an SN child who has significant medical and developmental disabilities and I just want to say that you are experiencing years of stress that not many people can understand. It's relentless. I want to laugh at the person who said you don't have enough to do! Ha! Taking care of a high needs kid means you sometimes have to lose yourself, because there's just not enough real time AND mental time to devote to yourself. I second Jill's House. Therapy is good and please talk to a psychiatrist about some meds to help out. Good luck.[/quote]

+1. I have an 11 yo with bipolar disorder who has been in and out of hospitals for several years and is currently on homebound school and 2 younger children to care for. I have PCOS and I'm now topping 200 lbs. OP, I feel for you, I do, I know exactly how you feel. Wellbutrin helps me get out of bed in the morning but its not a cure-all. The weight loss feels insurmountable. Its hard to muster the emotional energy to care frankly. Just wanted to post that there is someone out there who knows exactly how you feel without criticizing.

Thank you for your relating and empathy.  Yes, your life is stressful behind what anyone could know unless they are living your life. Thinking of you and I hear you.  [/quote]
