[QUOTE="Jena, post: 427059, member: 4514"] hi it sounds like you have everything lined up really well, and it does give some sense of relief to get things accomplished and bel proactive instead of the spinning wheels affect. It'll take time, and the therapy for you will help alot. I go in at times and just sit and vent away and don't really "fix" anything yet just releases it, hearing feedback helps me get it into perspective. I think your plan is a really good one. It will pass, I too do my share of complaining and have those oh why her, why me days. yet lately what i've been trying to do is look at the benefits of the disorder. Sounds odd, yet i have come to find that each child that has some sort of mental illness also has some sort of special quality that our other kids easy child's or your typical functioning kids may not have. For instance my daughter has bipolar/Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)/anxiety etc. yet she is incredibly creative and brilliant with writing music, lyrics, stories her artwork. She is beyond her years in it. Lately i've been trying to tell her yes you have alot of challenges ahead (they'll make you stronger) yet you also have alot of "special powers and gifts" that came along with it. Focus on those. i used to keep a daily gratitude journal, i gotta get back to it. I'd wake up and say ok what's good about today sort of thing. Not sure if it'll help you.... yet most times when i searched for what was good in that particular moment all my basic needs had been medication. I wasn't hungry or thirsty iwas in a safe place, i knew where my difficult child was, etc. etc. just an idea :) hang in there.... sometimes we just gotta let ourselves feel whatever we're feeling.... it'll pass ((Hugs)) [/QUOTE]
