[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 633189, member: 3419"] Hi Kitten, welcome. I hear you! Moms always get the worst of it. You're there most often, and you're a "safe" target. I know the feeling. Your daughter's depression can also manifest as anger. Or she may have bipolar, so regular antidepressants don't work. I would continue the search for medication. And she probably won't cooperate, but I'd try to get sugar and white bread out of the house. And get her on a regular sleep schedule. Lack of sleep makes everyone looney! In the meantime, I'd recommend some medications for yourself, just the mildest dose to take off the edge. If it's an SSSRI, it will take a cpl mo's to kick in. If it's something like Xanax, it's immediate. Those work better than wine, although I love wine, but they don't give you a hangover. :) You are right to remember to pay attention to your son. So often, the "healthy" kid gets left out. {{hugs}} [/QUOTE]
