[QUOTE="HaoZi, post: 419939"] Hello and *hugs* hon. You definitely need some respite for yourself, I'm sorry people aren't stepping up to help you. While I don't have all the same problems, my daughter is capable of tantrums lasting over 24 hours - she can wake up and start right where she left off. It's not been as bad lately since some psychiatrist and medication changes, but I know those tantrums and the only time I get away is the hour or so between when I get off work and when I pick her up from school. There's no family nearby, and even if I could find a reliable sitter I don't have the money for a sitter or anything to do if I had one. I agree with MWM, this isn't normal and I have no clue why his therapist would consider this remotely normal for any kid, let alone a 4 year old. Can you tell us more about why he doesn't go with the other kids? Have you checked around for different psychiatrists and tdocs? Not every one is the right one for every kid. I've spent months fighting psychiatrists to get testing for my daughter since they just throw medications at her symptoms and label her with no testing and minimal observation. Even the psychiatric hospital didn't do any testing, just a medication wash and new medications. I'm getting some test results today FINALLY, and have a feeling I'll have to push for further testing to confirm/deny her current diagnosis's. Yes, I've had many days when I have wanted to run away from home and pretend to be someone else just to escape. [/QUOTE]
