Default Im so tired...

Im soooo tired...Having to deal with this borderline aspergers..pdd...whatever it is...Im drained. My 2 other kids cant leave my 8yo alone and it never ends. I just feel like there was 36 hours today! Somedays just are so hard! Now I think she has her ulcer back. She has been complaining of stomach aches again.

I know there is no solution...Im just tired. My hubby hasnt been home at all. He works till midnight tonight. and I still have to go pick up my 13 yo at church after 9:30 The day is never ending.

Default know the feeling....

It can be so draining. Try to focus on the small improvements (which I know are hard to find sometimes!). I can relate as I lay in bed this morning not wanting to tackle another day of resistance and anger from my son. I am in same boat with no concrete diagnosis. It changes from year to year and from therapist to Dr. to therapist, not to mention everyone seems to be an arm chair diagnostician. However it IS worth it. I tried sending mine to ps and it was a disaster and set us back quite a bit. Maybe take a break and refocus and re-energize.

I know the feeling, too. Please try to find some respite. You need a break to take care of you.
