Finally going to start therapy thanks to my parents help. Don't know what I'd do without them. I hope it will do me some good. My anxiety was probably at a 7 on a scale of 1 - 10 today for some unknown reason. Starting my son on ADHD meds tomorrow which I'm really apprehensive about. Tried once 5 years ago, and my wild and active child turned into a zombie. I preferred my wild child and took him back off it after 2 days. I'm feeling pressured to do this by the doctor and my parents. It's for his learning, not his hyperactivity, which really isn't too bad. He seems happy, and I don't want that to change. I'm afraid it will. I don't want to sacrifice his personality for his learning if there can be other ways to help him without medicine. My family don't understand. I suppose they will see tomorrow what I mean if he reacts the same way to this medicine when we visit tomorrow. I'm really nervous about this. Good news - found a small blackberry patch near the house...
