[QUOTE="Jena, post: 254210, member: 4514"] hi guys! Thanks for taking the time to respond. :) Andy - I see your point believe me, yet i can't take a break from reality as much as i'd like to house wont' function just won't. hey, i can say house now lol. I am overloaded and frustrated no doubt. difficult child is melting pretty bad. i've been due to raise medications for 2 mos now yet refuse to, she's gained 25 lbs. and is crying and becoming depressed about the weight issue now to boot. believe it or not i handle it all pretty well, the pyscho you see in here isn't the pyscho she sees lol. i have a calendar now on the fridge listing our schedules' difficult child reward days, etc. yet there has been too much for her at one time right now. she was already dipping before move and hey this is the way of the bipolar. it's that freaking anxiety disorder and the Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) that makes the bi polar almost unmanagable at times. please give me one disorder i could work that well for her and i both but that isn't going to happen. star - yes you did, yet mom has to work it isn't optional. if it wasnt' this job it would be a nine to five and me getting home at 7 off trains. this job although ridiuclously demanding, being i'm out working thursday and friday nights seeing clients allows me to bring difficult child into school each day and pick her up 3 days out of 5 and boyfriend gets her the other 2 and she plays with-his kids after school (her happiest days) so it's about j learning to cope better with it all. work is stressing me i will not lie. i'm working off of my clients' schedules and their killing me. i just slid a client into saturday a..m. time slot. because i refuse to work another weeknight it isnt' going to happen. so i went from 6 cases to 11 today out of the blue and overwhelmed doens't even begin to describe it. i still like the work yet i get frustrated with their difficult child's and mine most of all. i want to fix the world yet i cna't seem to get one kid stable. this week alone i'd say 85% of my kids went off the wall and they were stable last week. take a guessi got majority BiPolar (BP) kids. i just needed a vent, i'll know when i need to speak up adn say ok enough at work. i'm not there yet. i have to fix my schedule and make it better. it will take time to add the other 5 families into my week without working more nights. yet i'll find a way if they want em in there their going to have to bend a bit too. as far as difficult child goes she's seeing things now, the anxiety has gotten to a somewhat unmanagable point at times. all our tricks, tips, things i've taught her aren't working. toinght she's seeing u.f.o.'s and crying. i'm telling you there has got to be a way to help these kids without sedating them. i have no clue what it is but there has got to be a way.
