my depression and an ADHD child
I
have
been
dealing
with
depression
and
anxiety
for
the
better
part
of
my
life.
Everyday
is
a
struggle
to
remain
happy
on
the
outside
while
I
am
being
eaten
away
on
the
inside.
For
the
past
year
my
6
year
old
has
been
diagnosed
with
ADHD.
He
is
a
very
intelligent
child,
but
requires
alot
of
stimuli
to
keep
him
from
jumping
around
like
he
has
ants
in
his
pants.
Aside
from
the
ADHD
he
also
has
anger
management
issues.
My
son
can
be
the
most
loving
little
boy
until
he
gets
upset.
He
has
striked
out
towards
his
younger
brother,
been
kicked
out
of
day
care
twice
and
was
threatened
to
be
kicked
out
of
school
because
of
his
behavior.
All
this
is
so
overwhelming.
I
always
push
my
problems
aside
while
I
try
to
deal
with
him
and
his
problems.
It
just
doesn't
seem
fair
for
him
to
have
so
many
problems
at
such
a
tender
age.
Alot
of
times
after
my
kids
go
to
bed,
I
will
stay
up
and
cry
wondering
where
did
I
go
wrong.
I
doubt
my
past
choices
and
think
maybe
if
I
had
tried
harder
I
would
have
turned
out
to
be
a
better
mother.
Both
of
my
boys
have
different
fathers
and
that
just
makes
things
worse.
My
6
yr
old
doesnt
get
to
see
his
father
because
according
to
him
"he
has
a
life
and
is
too
busy".
That
doesn't
help
my
stress
level
when
my
son
goes
to
crying
because
he
wants
to
see
his
daddy.
I
have
wanted
to
tell
my
son
that
his
father
is
actually
a
no
good
POS
but
I
have
refrained
from
doing
so.
At
least
for
now.
WOW-
I
feel
better
just
getting
that
out.
