Overwhelmed, exhausted, relieved, angry.........how many more emotions!

For those who dont know my story. DS is 6 and struggling ALOT in school with behavioural issues. School have used unofficial exclusions and basically been a nightmare for over 18 months now. Loads of people involved with our case and DS is undergoing assessment for aspergers. Applied for statement but because DS is high functioning intelligence have been refused by LEA and are due at appel in September. I have till 10th July to write report and provide evidence!
Peadiatrician has been an amazing source of support and today agreed to move DS appointment from August to week beginning 2nd July and has said he will give diagnosis before 10th July so it can go in report!!!
So many emotions though! Am overwhelmed by amount of work i need to do to get this report done. I am absolutely exhausted with having to co-ordinate agencies and just getting people to do their jobs. I am relieved that a diagnosis is finally in sight and that people will have to notice my son is not just a naughty child and im still angry that i am having to fight this hard for something which my son needs so desparately!
Im sure these emotions are felt by everyone in our situation BUT i am just so consumed by it all at the moment.

Bonkerz well done at getting things moving! No wonder you feel so exhausted! Can you have a couple of days doing less stressful 'everyday' things and early nights to wind down and rest ready to write again for your appeal? Sorry I have no expert advice but I thought you needed a pat on the back!! Be kind to yourself!

I can totally relate to this bonkerz. It sounds like you've got a lot going on, I remember reading your previous threads and I'm not surprised you're totally overwhelmed and exhausted but what a great job you're doing getting it all in place.

My ds has HFA, and he had the assessment for a statement several weeks ago. I'm now just waiting for the final 'yes' or 'no' to drop through my letterbox every morning. This waiting is unbearable.

nothing is ever easy is it! Picked DS up tonight and was told he is excluded nw till monday. When i tackled this and asked exactly what would be acheived they turned it all around. Told me i was unstable, that they felt ds problems due to parenting and have called social services on me! I am really low right now. Have rang ed welfare and allocations who are going to find nother school for DS ASAP and i have organised for DS to go to my sisters for a weeks 'holiday' so i can sort new school etc. Am distraught about social services coming tomorrow and dont know what to expect. DH is telling me to give up work and concentrate on DS but i cannot afford to do that!
Want to scream but dont have energy!
