[QUOTE="helpangel, post: 526155, member: 7170"] As I logged in today I was crying, eye twitching, hands shaking... your post couldn't help catch my eye. I know what my problem is I have accumulated a stress disorder from many years of dealing with difficult child's with no relief crew in site. I'm also gonna put a call in to my PCP tomorrow as usually the eye twitching is a sign my thyroid medication needs to be adjusted. As soon as you can please try to get yourself in to see a doctor. Often parents of difficult child's are so preoccupied getting services for their kids they tend to ignore warning signals their own body is sending out. The added stress of raising a difficult child alone is enough to cause many medical problems to arise. Since most doctors aren't available on Sunday and this doesn't sound like fits into criteria to warrant an emergency room (any chest pains etc. please go get checked now); I suggest you try to de-stress. Avoid large amounts of alcohol at times it can be useful but when that stressed it turns me into a crying puking mess. Can husband watch the kids while you take a bubble bath? I'm talking candles, soft music, a good book sit in there till you look like a prune bubble bath. Weeding the garden and smashing grubs can even be theraputic. Neighbors laugh when I put a pup tent in the back yard with a do not disturb sign or sit in my van with the windows rolled up blasting the music. Anyway we all come up with our little coping mechanisms but address the stress issues before they floor you. Like they say on an airplane put your own mask on first then help others, if you don't take care of yourself you won't be strong enough to care for difficult child. [/QUOTE]
