Adhd - I messed up again

Name changed for this - I'm embarrassed and depressed. I have adhd and have 4 kids, one ds has adhd and other SN and another has ASD. We moved countries and I am trying to get ds8 (adhd) seen by a psychiatrist. He is unmedicated at the moment because he was having very violent tics. He's struggling very badly and he is lashing out which is badly affecting the whole family. We haven't seen a psychiatrist since we moved (8months ago). Anyway I finally got my act together and contacted a psychiatrist and booked a phone consult. Waited weeks for it.

All morning I knew there was something I forgot but couldn't figure what it was.

Anyway I missed the phone appointment.

So now I have to restart the whole process again and contact the secretary and wait weeks. Nothing else I can do.

I'm feeling very low right now. I so badly want to help my child, but I get in my own way constantly and I hate that. I'm so so tired of constantly battling my ADHD and still messing up again and again.

So sorry to hear this. Try to be kind to yourself. You didn’t do it on purpose and you had the best intentions. It is good that you’ve been able to remake the appointment.
I know how hard it is to battle all of this and I wish I could offer some advice but instead, solidarity. Your son will be fine with someone who understands him.

Thanks @Od@Oddgirlout

I don't see why you've messed up @Adhdmum4. What I'm reading is my DS was reacting to medication so we took him off it, which seems appropriate and he needs help, which you have sought Flowers
