IM GONNA LOSE IT TODAY | ADHD Information
I'm sorry you're having a bad time but I am glad you came here for support.
Slayer,
You may want to revisit the DX. Sound like more may be going on than ADHD.
hi all
sorry i havnt been on the boards for awhile but ive been having an hell of a year so far
for those of you that dont know im a mother of 5 boys and have adhd myself along with 3 of my 5 boys, also i now think my 3yr old has it as his just like my eldest whom is now 11yrs with adhd/odd
well today im on the verge of smashing something up or hurting someone.
ive had months and months of a nutty 11yr old smashing my home and calling me and hubby all the names under the sun
all he does is scream hurt kids and smash things and im at my wits end now with him
its gone on long enough and its driving the whole family insane
yes i have other kids with adhd but they are nothing compared to my eldest, id rather 10 more of them than of my eldest, i can see my 3yr old becoming him and i cant take it.
we cant go anywhere as the kids fight and show me up rotten and with me having adhd my temper when i loose it is really bad that i shout and swear alot.i can control it for along time but when i have a 11yr old shouting in my face and smashing my home up i go nuts. he knows what buttons to push and even though yes im the adult and should know better its very hard with myself having adhd to control myself. i dont hit him but god the day he reaches 18 im gonna knock his block off!!! i feel so depressed and sometimes i find life isnt worth living.
i keep comparing my eldest to me when i was his age, i could read and write at the age of 6 and was well advanced for my age and he isnt, his so behind and acts like a right dingle, his starting an adhd secondary school and im dreading it, he gonna be the target for bullying as his such a pratt!,he went to see his school in a bloody batman suit which he hid under his school clothes!, i was nothing like that and i have adhd, i just cant understand it
im sorry for going on but if i dont get this off my chest god knows what im gonna do.. my hubby dont understand me and i just need to talk to someone that does, whom has adhd themselves.
im trying so hard to keep my temper under control but i know i wont be able to much longer, i feel like going out and never soming back!
im not a bad mum, i give my kids everything, but they just wont listen to me!
im in debt up to my eyes cause i want everything and want my kids to get everything, also replacing all the stuff my eldest breaks is adding to the debt
what 11yr old screams and shouts none stop, smashes everything and make sure his making his parents life hell?
i dont know what to do anymore x
thanks for replying
im on concerta 72mg which is 2x 36mg tabs, my eldest is on meds but they dont seem to work anymore, is been on them since he was 3yrs old.his on ritalin 50mg a day, ive asked for a tranqaliser gun many times but they wont give me one, excuse spelling lol
my hubby must feel as i do at times with the kids and even me with the adhd, im not easy to live with at times.
my eldest is the main problem in the family, i just cant understand why his such an arse, there is no need for it. there is no getting through to him, if you give in and be nice he takes that as a green light to take the pee, you give him an inch he would take a mile!
ive calmed down abit now thanks xxx
Sorry to hear you are having such a rough time. Wow, 5 kids and with ADHD too. I can understand how hard it can be for you at times. I have ADD myself and my daughter has it too and I complain about her bad behavior but she is only one. Five is a lot to keep track of. I can certainly understand your frustration and believe me, I lose my temper too sometimes and say things I shouldn't. After coming home from working two jobs some days, I don't have much left to deal with a 12 year old full of attitude. Sometimes you need to just get away and take a breath. It sounds to me like you need some time to yourself. Does their Dad help you out with them? It sounds like you really do need some help with them. It is hard when people don't understand ADD/ADHD. My psychologist had to sit with my H and explain it and it finally became real to him. Counseling has been a big help for us as my daughter's attitude seems to get worse as she goes through puberty. She's 12 and can be a real handful. She's in my face as I speak, literally. It's a tough age. Have you looked into counseling, medication, etc.? I can't tell you much about meds. because I am no doctor, but the counseling has helped us a lot.There are some really kind and also knowledgable people on this forum and they can give you some good advice and support. My heart goes out to you and I do understand where you are coming from. You found the right place here to let your feelings and thoughts out and be understood. Please hang in there and keep posting. Keeping you and your family in my prayers. Dee lostmyshoe38906.498587963Hang in there is all I know to say!!! Let your husband take care of his kids for a day and go do something for yourself to get some temporary relief. Go ahead and smash something while you are away from your family. Hello, how are things with you? I hope a little better than when you originally posted? where bouts in the uk are you? Silent Screamer38912.2548263889
