May I ask, is there another adult with you for any type of relief/support? Also having experienced this from the other side, have your or your care giver thought about testing you for ADHD. Unfortunately my SO did not get diagnosed until 48 and the price paid by her and her children is significant. If so you could really use a lot of support. This is from Psychcentral: https://psychcentral.com/lib/parent-...gies-for-adhd/ Try at least to read the article. My thoughts and spirit are with you. May you have some peace this night.  |
Thanks for responding. It does feel unbearable sometimes.
I am a single parent, so it's just me but my dad does take my oldest overnight every Friday night and my youngest too every second Friday night (he alternates between my neice and my youngest as taking all 3 is tough) so every second weekend I get a break.
I am currently in the process of being tested for adhd. My psychiatrist doesn't think I have adhd, and brushed it off when I mentioned that I thought I might have adhd or bipolar. He says all the symptoms are just because of my anxiety and depression. My family dr, who I have been seeing since I was a few years old and knows my parents and my family history, is working with me on the adhd because I told him that my psychiatrist is not listening to me. He believes I have adhd and bipolar because of my family history (my mom and daughter have adhd and my mom obv has more mental issues going on that she isn't being treated for) I am unsure if I actually have bipolar but I am convinced I have adhd and it's making my life a living hell.
