[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 166236, member: 1722"] Welcome. I'm sorry you have to be here but I am glad you have found us. My first concern is your depression, are you on an antidepressant? If so, are you feeling any better since starting it? Also, is your therapist aware that you have had suicidal thoughts? It's important that you take care of yourself so that you can take care of your daughter. While I wasn't depressed, my daughter was difficult like yours. She's slowly improved to the point where I can enjoy being around her again almost all the time (she's seven). The biggest things I did for myself was to find some very quiet and peaceful time away from her to recharge myself and learning to not really care what others thought of me and my parenting. There's a thread stuck to top of this forum about adapting The Explosive Child. I'd like you to take a moment to read it and consider picking up a copy. Unfortunately, your daughter's young age is probably working against you at this point as most health care professionals won't offer a diagnosis or treatment plan because so many troublesome behaviors are considered age appropriate. You can start by ruling out a physical cause (medical/neurological) and keeping a behavior journal. [/QUOTE]
