i feel so alone | ADHD Information

Hi, not quite sure what to put on this i ahve achild with adhad and odd, it has been a real struggle since the age of three next to my husband he is my whole workd but i am in so much despair and really do not know what to do for the best any longer, it seems as if life is one long rollercoaster ride and i feel as if it is never going to stop. My son is on concerta and even on this his emotions are all over the place. it has been a long uphill battle to get people to understand him for who he is and the medication has helped with this to calm him and get him to focus, the rollercoaster has hit again and i feel the final straw is when his cub leader politly asks for him to have a break i am so upset and feel so worn down

Welcome! I'm sorry that you are feeling alone. I think that many of us have
had this experience.

It sounds like he is very young? It does get better as they age. I had plenty
of embarrassing moments with sports, daycares, and clubs. It's not really
avoidable. They just don't get it, but really they don't need to. I not sure
that trying to get people to understand your son for who he is has much
of a payoff. I would focus entirely on his well being, and not on others. Is
he seeing a child psychiatrist for the medication management? If not you
might want to transfer care. He might need a real expert on medication to
deal with emotions. The medication may not be quite right. Also for those
later in the day events, a "booster" is usually given.

Also, I'm wondering, is it possible that you have ADHD or ADD? Have you
been evaluated?

individual sports may be a good growth opportunity.

It is not your fault and you are not alone.  My spirtual teacher has finally convinced me that what other people think of me or my son is none of my business.
