I have bipolar,anxiety and severe depression. Single mother of 6. As a single mom you are faced with everything all by yourself. You should see about getting you help. I to stopped my medication thinking I was better off of it and they make me so tired. I realized I would be able to react differently to my sons outbursts if I was back on my medications. With each anger outburst I became more depressed because I couldnt fix the situation.
Ask the school principal about their discipline policies. Talk to the principal about your concerns and point of view. Let them know you are seeking help.
My son kept being put in in-school detention. Bad idea for someone who cant sit still. He would get another day for not sitting still. They need to adjust the discipline according to the child. Our school has worked with us on doing just that.
Also I have them e-mail me instead of calling me. Then when I have a counseling or psychiatric appointment I print them out and take them with. It helps the dr to see the behaviors and adjust the medications as needed.
Take time for you. Take a bubble bath,listen to music and dance or if you have time watch a movie and eat some popcorn. I always forget myself. Its amazing how I feel once I shave my legs and paint my toe nails. Keep asking questions here as you are not alone. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
