[QUOTE="Fran, post: 293181, member: 3"] Depression is part of the process of dealing with challenging children. Some of us deal with the situational depression and some of us have depression that is chronic. It sounds like you have some of both. If you weren't depressed because your children were raging enough to miss a year of school, I would be wondering why. You have every reason to feel down. You are working hard to parent your kids with not much chance to recharge your battery or much chance to get the positive that comes with raising a n/t child. On the other hand, if you have thoughts of hurting someone or yourself then you have to get the help you need. Talk to your doctor. Tell them about the problem of paying for medication that helps you. Sometimes they can give you samples or maybe direct you to a program that helps pay for medication. How you feel today isn't going to be how you feel next week or next year. Give yourself a chance to get better. Give your kids a chance to grow up and do better. Hugs. Call a friend, family member you trust, pastor, or even a hotline that will direct you to the proper help. You don't have to be in so much pain that your only alternative is more pain to you or those who love you. [/QUOTE]
