[QUOTE="nvts, post: 87015, member: 3814"] Hi Prayerful! Wow! I thought I was the only one who dreads the phone ringing! First: take a breath - a deep one. You won't be any help to anyone if you don't give yourself a break. If you think you're suffering from depression because of the situation, go to your doctor and spell it out for them. Explain the chest pains, the anxiety, the sleeplessness, the difficulties with your son, the weight gain, etc. If you look at half of the profiles of the people on this site, most are dealing with the same type of situation that you're in and many are being medicated for depression. There's no shame in it, since you can't scream and yell and jump up and down, it's natural that your body becomes the "whipping post for your mind!". Second: go get Ross Greene's "The Explosive Child". You may or may not choose to go his route for parenting your child, but he does give you insight about the way that your son's brain works. Third: Try and take a look at your son objectively. Does he seem to have sensory issues (loud noises freak him out, itchy tags in his clothes, meet your eyes, etc)? What type of professional diagnosed your son? Have you had a neuropsychologist evaluation done? There may be more than meets the eye with his difficulties. Forth: Make sure that you read up on some of the stuff on the Spec. Ed. forum. There are certain laws and accomodations that need to be followed by the Board of Ed. when it comes to kids with disabilities. Try and go into the "My Stuff" and update your profile. You usually want to throw in info. on your family, diagnosis', siblings, etc. It makes it easier for people to get to know you and saves a lot of your time when you're talking about what's going on. Relax Prayerful, you found a great group! [img]:smile:[/img] Beth [/QUOTE]
