Question: Under a lot of stress!. Please help!!!?
I don't know what is wrong with me lately!. All I want to do is cry!. I suffer from depression and anxiety!. I am on medicine for both of these!. I have a son who has tourettes, adhd, among with other problems!. I feel bad because I can't take his pain and humiliation away!.

I have to fight my husband and the schools to even get my son help!. I use to be a strong person, now I just don't know how much more I can take without losing my mind!. Please let me know how to handle this stress!. I don't have anywhere else to turn!. All answers are greatly appreciated!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
There are advocate groups that can help you!.
You need to talk with your son's doctor and have him/her refer you to an advocate group that will help you and your son!. Some groups are free, some are not!.
The school system is hard to deal with thanks to the Bush administration!! Be patient as there is a set of procedures the school needs to go through before your son can be given extra help!. My fiance is a school psychologist and most often her hands are tied because of the teachers and rules set by the district!. The teachers don't know classroom management because they are only taught how to test kids!. That means they would rather have a class room full of kids that are "perfect" in their mind!. Also, the district needs to be reassured that your child truely needs the extra help!. Be patient but firm!. If you do get aggresive, people will start to drag their heals and you will not get what you and your son need!.
Your husband needs a slap to the back of the head!! See if you can't get some "data" to show that your son does have these conditions!. Bring him to the school to show him what is happening!.
REMEMBER THIS!!! You do NOT need your husbands permission to get help for yourself or your son!. If your husband is blind to it, then he needs help as well!. If you do not take care of yourself who will!?!?!?!?!?
You need to get help for yourself!. You have no outlet right now!. Seek some counseling or even a support group!. Your doctor should be able to refer you to these as well!.
The main thing to remember is you are NOT alone!. I would venture to guess there is at least one or two other kids in your son's school with tourettes!. They may not have the same "ticks", but they have it!. Also, it seems there are more and more kids with ADHD these days!.
One last thing!. Remember you have a CHILD with tourettes and adhd!. Children are not easy with or without these conditions!.
Now go call your doctor and make your life easier!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com
