Yes, you're right -- I do sometimes forget how hard the classes are, even though I see the homework and projects. Hard classes plus all her extracurriculars may be just burning her out at the end of the school year. But I may need to reassess over the summer, or should I say "help her" reassess. I don't want to be the mom who pushes their kid to be a "super kid" and the kids suffers because of it, but then, I also don't want her to drop activities until the antidepressants and therapy has had a chance to work, so we can see how she feels then.

Sometimes I wish it was like the old days when we just rode bikes/swam/played with other kids during our down time and there weren't many organized activites. But times have changed so much and there's no getting away from that really, except for some gymnastics girls who are home-schooled, so they can get their school work done with in 3-4 hours a day and not have the school pressure on top of everything else.
