Amazing what 3 days can do for you!

I posted before that I was going to go to the Dr. for anti-anxiety meds. I AM LOVING THEM!!! This morning could have been a doozy but it was all good. When SS started acting like a fool- My chest didn't get tight, I didn't want to cry, I didn't yell. Nope, I was just late. It is what it is.

I realize that it sucks that I have to medicate myself because DH won't medicate SS but hey, at least I am not feeling so crazy about the whole thing! Parent-teacher conferences are in 3 weeks so maybe (since this will be the 6th teacher to bring it up, she has already called me about it) this time he will listen when he is told SS has ADHD and needs help.

That was me too. Finally one

That was me too. Finally one of my co-workers told me to suck it up and do it. I just went to my PCP. I told her work was crazy, SS drove me insane, my family sucks and it all just gets to be too much sometimes. I keep having panic attacks and I am isolating myself to keep from any more drama in my life. She gave me something to take daily and then Xanax in case I have another panic attack. After just 3 days on the daily one I can feel such a difference.

Me too! It was tough to

Me too! It was tough to admit I was having an issue with dealing with everything. My PCP was very kind about it all and gave me a daily med and more Xanax for attacks. Started the meds on Wednesday and over the weekend the skids were there, total change in how I dealt with them. No yelling by me, no dirty looks at DH when his kids acted up, he stepped up and took care of it all. I've been on the meds 5 weeks and I feel like I can handle it all again. I've only had one anxiety attack but it was a mild one and it was brought on by being stuck in a bathroom stall at a football game.

Both my skids have ADHD and BM is in the midst of changing their meds....usually a horrible thing to deal with, this past weekend.....no problems for me.
