[QUOTE="SRL, post: 166273, member: 701"] Welcome Munimama, I'm glad you found us. There's probably nothing that you're experiencing that parents here haven't already been through so you're in the right place. I agree with the others to put yourself first in seeking help and to address the depression. IN addition to seeing a therapist you may want to consider seeing a doctor who can prescribe antidepressants. It's no easy task raising a difficult child, and because progress in our little ones usually takes time it's important to get yourself supported and emotionally on the mend. I would encourage you to post you therapists phone number by your phone in addition to your local crisis hotline in the event you would feel desperate again. I promise you that if you are feeling more emotionally stable, you will be better equipped to cope with her. I would advise you keep a journal of your daughter's behaviors--diet, sleep patterns, triggers that start tantrums, etc. The reason I say this is at age 2 it may be difficult to convince a doctor that something may be up if violent tantrums is really the only thing that is outstanding from the behavioral list. I know that you are seeing a whole host of difficult behaviors but the range of behaviors in typical 2 year olds is very broad so the more data you can provide the better. Have you or other family members been diagnosed with bipolar, anxiety, or other mental health issues? Outside of the outbursts, is there anything else that is unusual about her developmental history? How is her speech? Is she very sensitive to lights, sounds, or clothing textures? Hang in there. [/QUOTE]
