Hi everyone,as the title says I suspect I'm suffering from either one or both of these.
I have 2 ds's 6 and 7.9.My eldest has sen-dyspraxia and social comm disorder and may well be on the spectrum.I am a sahm but I have always struggled with depression and anxiety but I feel it's hit a new high.
I seem to have major control issues-i.e. the boys HAVE to be in bed at a set time,I struggle to deviate from it.Things have to be a certain way at home i.e. tidy and everything in it's place otherwise I freak out.I get irrationally angry to the point of violence in some cases (By that I mean that I throw,slam things around.I don't hit my boys or dh).What I am writing here is merely the tip of the iceberg in how it affects me.I am unbendingly rigid in so many areas and it is utterly draining.
My poor wonderful dh and ds's are really starting to suffer and I recognise that I need help but I really don't want to go back on ad's.I took citalopram a few years back for depression and it did seem to help but I did seem to out on weight which I have now lost so don't want to go back there.
Does anyone have these issues too and if so what helped.

Thanks for reading.

Just bumping post for you as I have no advice but didn't want to read and run. Hope you get help.

Hello, I would suggest you see your GP for a chat. Maybe he could refer you for some therapy. CBT is very good or refer you to your local Mental Health Team for assessment. Anger can be a symptom of lots of things.
