I am finding it so hard to keep myself "fixed" and to also deal with my children's problems! Son #2 pulled another all nighter and threw a fit about going to school this morning. For any of you who have read my posts, this is the 11-yr. old who is on the bipolar spectrum according to the psychologist, but not allowed to be labeled according to the psychiatrist. After 2 months of zoloft and then lexapro, he is no better, he just added crying to his emotional outbursts.

With the Son #2 battle this morning, I forgot to make sure that Son #1 took is ADHD meds and he has a math test today! I'll feel guilt all day for this.

Son #3 is in the process of going through psych testing as well because he is an emotional wreck. I'll have to take off more time next week beyond my own therapy for his screening.

My high school daughter managed to get everyone out the door for me this morning, and I think they all got on the bus-I was afraid to look out the window!

Now its off to school to teach. Time to take off the mommy mask and put on the happy teacher mask. I thought my meds were working, but I feel myself sinking and just wanting to go back to bed and cry!

Based on my own experience, your meds may be working, or at least influencing your state for the better, i.e. keeping things from being even worse. Nevertheless, even the best med regime is subject to being overwhelmed by circumstances.

Thank you for teaching.

venting is the best thing to do...

it's shame that builds up...

and makes it seem not right so much...

you are not alone
