[QUOTE="exhausted, post: 481364, member: 11001"] Boy do I get it. I want to tell you that it gets easier but that isnt always true. I do find moments to be free of the worry. I have learned that I must do things for me and I have to put my brain on auto-pilot. We have 3 years of extreme stress. Even when difficult child has been in RTCs, we worried like crazy because the second place did not communicate and did not take care of her physical needs. However, as my difficult child continues down the wrong path, I find venting here, going to a NAMI meeting, talking to my friends (the few I can talk to about this), helps me stay functional. I do find that my anxiety is less as I now understand so much more about her mental illnesses. I keep hope because that is all I have right now. I also find that I have to focus on my husband and my older son once in awhile-we need each other and we are ok(even if they dont understand my daughter as well as I do). I have to take care of those relationships. I send a huge hug to you and hope you can find a few moments for you-a place that gives you a chance to be you again. [/QUOTE]
