So my difficult child has lost a total of 11 lbs (from 66lb to 55lb) since starting Adderall XR in October. We saw a nutrionalist today and she believes difficult child has more underlining issues than just losing weight from the Adderall XR. difficult child even told her she doesn't want to gain weight but made no comment about wanting to look skinny to be pretty so neither of us (nutritionalist or myself) thinks this is an eating disorder type thing. Honestly I don't think she really understands the issue though, I think she is just saying this to get attention. So we have been referred to a developmental pediatrician to check for underlining issues... emotional, anxiety, etc. Which my difficult child does have an emotional disorder that has been somewhat swept under the rug and she also has anxiety but I feel even more lost now then I did before.
On top of all this, I start my new job tomorrow and will be on orientation for 3-4 months monday-friday and can't call in AT ALL during this time and my fiance is still living with his grandparents. Since I have to be at the hospital by 6:45, my mom is going to be coming over at 6am to get difficult child to school before she goes to work. I just feel like all of this is too much. How am I suppose to start a new job (one that I need at this point), be a supermom to difficult child who apparently has more issues than we thought, and mend a relationship all at the same time? My ex-husband and his wife have made it clear in the past that they HAVE to work and really can't take time off which leaves me all these appointments to handle by myself. How do you all do it?
