[QUOTE="ellenr1, post: 20921, member: 2547"] Just wanted to add something: I truly understand how you are reluctant to go back on an antidepressant. But I can tell you from my own experience in trying to help two of my three kids, who have very serious emotional problems, that when I was under-treated for my depression, it was obvious to the professionals helping my kids. One therapist recommended that I get another opinion, quickly, and it was the best advice I could have gotten from her. My doctor added Welbutrin to the Lexapro I was taking, and I finally felt like I had my whole head and shoulders above water, not just my chin. I don't know if you would be helped by medications or not, but it sounds like you are under mega-stress right now, and I would strongly urge you to see a professional to talk about your options. It's hard to have the energy and patience to help your difficult child if you are totally wiped out. There is a reason that the flight attendants tell you to put the oxygen mask on your own face first before your help your child -- you have to take care of your own needs before you can help him. Sending you gentle cyber-hugs, [/QUOTE]
