Talk therapy

[Jengirlmama]

I suppose I need to come here more. I got downright depressed last night. Having trouble getting a job. I have two special needs kids and I have ADHD and anxiety and anxiety has been progressing. I left my job in Jan. Due to burnout. Kids were also having trouble in school. I was overwhelmed and worn out and had headaches and I couldn’t call parents or do paperwork. I am afraid of another burnout or kind of mental collapse. I have shoved my anxiety down for so long. It is just increasing. I never can pay for therapy.

Hey Jen

I to have adhd and after running my self totally ragged and burnt out my psychiatrist told me to take time out.like a year or so as I didn’t even grieve for my lovely mum.

Any way I was gonna say,if you live in the uk look up councilling services.i found a charity that is offering ongoing councilling which means it can go on for over a year.ive had my assessment and I’m having somet called trans anylitical therapy as I said to them I’m gonna need your top person as I need my mind stretched as far as it will go

Also try keeping a diary but if you want talk therapy write more.its good to write down your thoughts and emotions then at the end of the week read through what you’ve put.oftern you will get a light bulb moment and can often help you think in a more constructive,positive way

Good luck

I hope this helped

Ps you will want talk therapy and bucket loads of it as you’ve adhd lol

I took on a special ed. Job at a different school for a different age just so my daughter could attend a different school than the gang riot one. She has special needs. Meanwhile my sensitive baby the younger one got taken out of her home school where she was in honor choir to another school with a class for emotionally disturbed. She didn’t want to go into the cafeteria because of the smells so they put her in a cape hold. She also came home with a goose egg. We took her home to homeschool m-i-l was helping along with dad while i was working. My older daughter was being bullied and coming into my classroom a lot fussing about things and was getting in trouble for leaving class. I had taken over two teacher positions, could not find evaluation materials did not have a teacher’s aide like they promised. Kids could not do the curriculum that was there Individual educational plans were coming up due left and right, they used ipads but wifi didn’t work well and the copier was always down. My younger daughter was bullied by her cousin and she was flipping out. I just broke down. I have been turned down for jobs left and right and my kids are learning at home being evaluated for autism. We are asking our church for money. It’s awful. The year before all this I had aides trying to accuse me of things falsley principals pulling them for other things and changing my own classroom schedule every day. I got overheated and overworked while working under staffed and instead of calling family or getting me checked out, they took me away to get drug tested instead of getting me a gatorade. I had symptoms of heat stroke. The hospital just said my potassium was low.
