[QUOTE="nvts, post: 120922, member: 3814"] Hi! As you know no one can diagnose on here. But if you were asking about one of the kids, one of the common threads that would be coming your way would be "trust your instincts". Were I in your shoes, I'd write down all of the things that I consider either "extreme" or "issues of concern" (crying jags, sleeplessness, etc) and put a value of # of hours that you're spending like that. Then I'd think about the happier feelings and figure out the hours spent like that. If one value is significantly higher than the other in a negative sense, I'd go to a psychiatrist. Sometimes professionals (therapists, gp's, etc.) are so used to their patients, and so used to you being able to bounce back like the Bumble on Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer, they don't notice that you're at a breaking point. As a temporary measure, I'd also make a list of the stressors in my life and put them in order of importance. Don't sweat the bills, if you send them a couple of bucks a month (and I mean a couple of bucks a month - medical that is!) they'll leave you alone. Look at the suggestions that the gang put on your other post about how to handle your babe in the morning and consider some of those solutions. Brutally: if you don't take care of YOU, you're going to be unable to help her. If I were you, I'd research the medications you're on thoroughly and take them as directed. If you're taking them all "willy-nilly" they're not likely to help! Keep the faith and let us know how you're feeling! We care! Hugs! Beth [/QUOTE]
