[QUOTE="pepperidge, post: 129272, member: 2322"] Totoro, i am so sorry that it is all so stressful. Personally in reading what you wrote, I think that maybe the stress of it all got to you--as it would to any of us. I am not sure it is your mental health that is at fault. It just sounds over the top stressful. It is so hard for people to understand what having a mentally ill child is like. But things seem to be looking up for you for the future, which you so deserve and need. Just getting through the week or so without anyone ending up in the hospital from a nervous breakdown seems to me to count as successful. You will get it figured out, and I remain hopeful that there are some medications that will work for your daughter. Things can turn around so much with the right medications. My own family life is so much better than it was a few years ago. Anyway, I feel like I havent said anything new or useful here, I just don't want you to beat yourself up. I found myself wishing so much you could get away for a few days with your husband and do something relaxing. That's part of hte problem of our kids--there really is no one to leave them with many times so that we get the breaks we need. Anyway, I hope the sun continues to shine for you. P. [/QUOTE]
