Not sure how much more I can take!

Annah

Hello,


Sorry this is going to be a bit of a rant I think......
I just don't know how much more I can take of it all at the moment!
My daughters been on the waiting list for an ados since June last year and it was due to be done in January.
I keep calling to check and one of the drs left and so there is a backlog and they can't tell me how much longer its going to be...
My daughter is getting worse in terms of her violence, growling, pinching, unreasonableness, difficulty etc etc and the whole time I'm waiting I feel in limbo. I've had time off work and I'm on meds because I just can't cope. I've cried every day this week and I just feel like I can't go on. I love her so much but it hurts to see her so scared of life and wondering why she has no friends and I am just so worried she'll never be happy, even I don't make her happy anymore. 
All I want to do at the moment is run away and I think I've put all my hope on this test and they might not even say she has asd!! 
Sorry. I said it would be a rant I just needed to blurt and I need someone to tell me I'm normal feeling like this, I just feel like a complete failure!!

  • It is such a hard thing to go through i think everyone here will agree .i hope u feel better getting it out and well done for doing that .we  all feel like we are hitting our heads off the wall the only thing that gets me through is i will do it and i will fight for my son til he can do it for him self .i too phoned everyday and what i realised quickly is write to them leave a paper trail they cant ignore you if u write they have to respond . i contacted my mp ,dr .health vistor ant one i could think of .

    do u have anyone who can help you give u time out ? i always said no as i could cope with him and knew how to be with him but i was making myself ill i now let some people close to him help even for an hour . i took up running last year after saying i would do 6miles to raise awareness for autism and believe me i couldnt run but do u know what i love it i pit my music on loud and hit the roads it clears my head and its me time gud luck i hope u get answers soon xx
