Hi

I am new here, single parent to DD who is 6 years old. I have been going through absolute hell for a while now with tantrums and behaviour at home and at school. I keep waiting for her to turn a year older in hope that it will stop but it never does, I am mentally drained, she has been on holiday for a week with her grandparents and has only been home 2 days and I am stressed, migraines, breaking out and eating everything in sight for comfort. I’ve taken her out today and spend quality time for her to get home and throw a tantrum and scream she hates me. I have called the GP for an appt as advised by the school but it is next week and I honestly don’t know if I can hang on much longer. I love her with my whole being and she isn’t like this all the time and I know it must be so hard on her having all these emotions but I just can’t stay level headed when I’m breaking my back trying to make her happy and nothing ever is good enough. I look forward to going to work for the break - I feel like a horrible parent and I hate myself for not being calm all the time. She needs me and my support and here I am writing a message like this on a forum but I am in dire need of help.

grandparents stay in a different country and apart from that I have no help at all. My anxiety is through the roof and I am making myself ill. Please can someone give me some advice 😭😭

I'm sorry the hear you are having such a difficult time. Getting support is hard. My son is 6 and awaiting the investigation of adhd too. He is already diagnosed with autism ( last may) and has traits of pda, spd and arfid which all cause meltdowns, and emotional explosions. He seems to have endless amounts of energy and fortunately he isn't violent but he is exhausting.
