[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 192473"] Deni - There are many of us that have been in a very similar place. You are not alone. Your first priority right now is to take care of you. If you are self-injuring and in this much emotional pain, at the very least you need to see a psychiatrist and a therapist. I don't want to scare you, but from what I read you are at crisis level and I think you should go to the ER. They will evaluate you and if needed you can be hospitalized to get medications and stabilization (make sure to let them know about the reaction to welbutrin - it's really not that uncommon). It sounds horrible and scary, but it's not. It gives you a chance to get the help you need and can open up resources for help for you. In 2002, I was admitted into a psychiatric hospital for 5 days because of severe depression and it wasn't a cure by any means. But, it was a start. I was at crisis level and I was safe there. I knew I needed to be there because I wasn't safe from myself. I was actively suicidal. Others will come along with info on services for your son. But, you need to take care of you first. Your priority right now is you. That's what happens to so many of us. We neglect ourselves in taking care of our difficult child's, walking on eggshells and trying to stop the next explosion/meltdown/rage, trying to keep from losing our jobs, etc. We are important, too. YOU are important. YOU deserve to feel better. And, yes, there have been plenty of times when I haven't liked difficult child. There have been months where my good day ended when she got out of bed. It's hard to like someone who is constantly abusive (verbally, in my case), negative, argumentative and critical. (((hugs))) [/QUOTE]
