Exhausted and sad tonight. New job going okay- working on numbers stuff...necessary but not fun and a bit fristrating when sets dont match. AJ is …
My oldest son is struggling, he is a new big brother and has vacillated in behaviors- from refusal to cooperate, to wetting himself, to inattention...some of this may be a shield as there are tensions in the home at times, but making excuses does not help him with life skills. We need him to become more self confident, and a team player!
ADHD and biological depression- postpartum depression.
I have a 6 month old son. I am a working mother- we also have a 4yr old brother and a 19 year old half brother. I am trying to breast feeed- but pumping at work is an issue which is stressful...so we are supplementing. This child is all smiles, and the easisest going member of my home.
I was diagnosed ADD at 17yrs old. I have tried biofeedback, Ritalin and Welbutrin...and plain coping strategies. I hate most meds as I have noticed they affect my ability to brainstorm and think creatively...but allow me to do more analytical or methodical processes...Depression also entered into the picture
In my job I have worked with those who are/have been homeless.
I work with individuals who have had loved ones incarcerated. I also work with those who are o probation to assist with finding employment and reducing chances of reincarceration. I want to be able to better help others, by joining this community, through resources and more empathetic supports.
Breastfed both boys. THe youngest is 6 months...and I am struggling to pump, having to supplement, even after taking supplements.. I just want healthy kids
I grew up in a home that most people envied. My mother was overcompensating. My father was absent in may ways, dealing with his depression, or was overstrict. In therapy I saw this and was made to realize that his not speaking to me as a form of punishment for months at a time WAS abuse. I am now struggling to parent and very afraid that I made the same choice with my partner and am playig out my mothers role,but my husband is far more verbally angry towards me than my father was with my mother.
recently laid off from a non-profit job I loved, due to program closure. Interested in exploring other options, I love people , teaching and art...I have had interest in healthcare industry since I was a child and followed my father doing rounds at the hospital....
