[QUOTE="Circetay, post: 385449"] Farmwife, thank you for your warm welcome. I cried reading your kind words. It's been a very emotional day for me. This is also the first time I have stepped out of my comfort zone and asked for help, at least with regards to my daughter. I have some new recent diagnoses myself that I am trying to come to terms with and I see lots of those traits in my daughter. I know how hard it is for me to be me, and to deal with my issues that it just breaks my heart to think that she is dealing with something similar. Add to that the guilt I feel for passing on my issues and you end up with a very emotional me! I figured there was no magic cure or easy answers. We've been working on this most of her life, and I feel like i've tried just about everything there is to try. In terms of diagnoses, or evaluations we're working on that. Our family doctor has referred us to a Pediatrician specializing in adhd and behaviour issues. We will see that doctor in December. I'd be lying if I said that i'm not terrifed of how far that is. Of how we are to continue in this way for the next two months, but it's been going on for a long time so we'll just keep at it. One day at a time. From there, he will be the one to order the psychiatric assessment if we are to move forwards. I think given my history it's important. I am trying not to focus too much on the labels, but I do agree that knowing what you're dealing with helps. I also want to take care of this before she has trouble in school and gets labelled or she gets much older and stronger. I know that she is suffering too and I don't want that to go on any longer than it needs to. I have added a signature, not that there was much to add! And have no problems answering questions. I accept any and all advice, that's why I came here. I already feel a bit better that I can communicate with others who know what it's like, who have lived similar things. [/QUOTE]
