Will somebody take him please?

[MyFourCubs]

Will somebody take my ds as I just don't think I can do this anymore. I have hit the wall. I feel like shaking him and telling him to snap out of the autism because I just can't deal with it anymore. I am sick of the crying and the tantrums and the screaming. I am sick of never being able to make him happy.(for long) I am sick to death of trying so bloody hard all the time and still living like this. I just don't have the energy for it. You can read my last post in the autism chat if you need more details but that's pretty much it in a nutshell.

Do you have family and friends who can come over to help? I hope you manage to find some sanity! Be gentle on yourself..... Maybe you need some time out!

[PunkyDiva]

Is there someone you can call to come sit with you and or give you time out right now so you can clear your head.

and some more .
I hope things are a little better tomorrow.

Oh Sara, i'm so sorry, it's hard when you are already stretched and then have additional needs to take care of, it's hard, truly hard, i hope you can get some support and a break, even some sort of respite would be good if you can access it.

Sara

I have spent time crying in the cupboard. I have shouted and screamed and then felt so bad about it.

I was fortunate to have mum take DD1 for me sometimes though, do you have anyone that can help?

are there respite services that you can use?

seriously, you need to recharge your batteries so that you can start fresh sometimes.

Sara I am here for you

I wish I could be there so I could help you out. If you need anything just call or PM me.

Try at get some respite - do you have family or friends or anyone to help out?

You are doing a fantastic job but you need a break and some time to yourself.

You are a great Mum and you can do this - being this stressed shows just how much you love and care about your son. You are strong Sara. You are an amazing, beautiful woman.

Sorry guys that was one of those things that I should have thought but not posted. I'm just having a bad day. Alex was hysterical while I was typing, I'd sent him to his room because I couldnt' deal with the scraeming any longer so he just screamed louder from his room. Just want the day to be over really. (Although tommorrow is unlikely to be much better.)

I hear you Sara. They can have mine too, and we can de-stress together. What do you think? If only...
