[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 11494, member: 393"] Shari, sounds like your stress level has hit maximum overload. The difficult child factor affecting your job is difficult at best; devastating in many cases. Is there a way you can take a long weekend away - ALONE? You need a break. If not, go to the doctor & ask for something for your depression/anxiety. How about respite resources? Can husband handle the kids while you head across town for a night in a motel? You need to rebuild you - your difficult children are a marathon, not a sprint. Pace yourself. For me, I had completely shut down. I could no longer keep track of things, was losing sleep, couldn't remember names or my way home from work. I could tell that family stressors were taking a huge toll on me. I'm on a new antidepressant & a new anti anxiety medications along with weekly therapy. It's helped. It's also helped that I'm currently unemployed & can pace myself to keep up with the demands of the tweedles & still have time for myself. Just throwing some ideas out your way. [/QUOTE]
