I've been here before, a long time ago, and meds have quieted things down but I've not had enough sleep and that makes me more edgy. They're still awake at 10:30 at night and don't listen when we speak calmly. I should call a counselor tomorrow to discuss this and get parenting advise. I should probably call my pdoc too. It's been a veeery long time since I've seen her. I'm ashamed.
Don't be ashamed, You knew that there was help need and reached out for it
That is a big step in good direction
