[QUOTE="buddy, post: 474828, member: 12886"] I'm glad you got help to start to work on the extreme stress you are under and your feelings. It can feel forever to be depressed and anxious. I went thru a time in my twenties for several years. I always said I would go for help in a second if feelings like that lasted more than a week. Even with my horrible days now, I have tons of hope, love most of the services we have etc. Just lots of unknowns hanging over me, but I have not lost hope for sure. I spent time today laughing my head off with my typical neices and nephews. They love me and difficult child so much and all offered to carry a bag to get candy for him! They are so sweet (naughty but sweet). You dont have to be fake here. It is ok to say you are feeling like you need to turn the world off. it literally does come down to one step at a time...one ACTUAL step at a time during these phases of life. True, Tenex and Clonidine are not stimulants. They are used for adhd and agression to address symptoms. Does not mean it is the answer for you, I am sure there are as many stories where these did not work for some kids too. But so far you are not seeing what you use as working. Like I said, adderal didn't work for my difficult child at all...ritalin did though. In a dramatic way. I can tell too right away when medications time has been missed. this summer at the pool was hard. time woudl fly and I did't have a watch on so all of a sudden he was too wild or impulsive and getting in trouble and duh....I missed the time by half of an hour! I really have to be on my toes when it comes to medications. Well, you have some options. One thing at a time... you can do this and you are not alone. [/QUOTE]
