[QUOTE="Genny, post: 261685, member: 95"] Yup, husband and I went to counseling for a while just to talk about difficult child, and I was on anti-anxiety medications for a while just so I could function. It's hard to focus on work when you're constantlt waiting for the other shoe to drop. I had a panic attack at work one day and had to have a coworker drive me to the doctor's - that was when I realized that I needed outside help to get me through. It IS only temporary, so do what you need to in order to maintain a life for yourself. At the very least set up a counseling session just for you (or for you and husband if you're on the same page). It was a HUGE releif to have a professional validate our feelings and tell us we were doing everything right, and give us permission to put difficult child's issues on the back burner now and then and focus on ourselves. Hang in there! Genny [/QUOTE]
