.....and I'm scared I might start crying or totally 'lose it' with the doctor.
The last few days have been complete hell. DD1 has had numerous tantrums and crying fits, has been totally demanding and generally awful to be around.
I feel totally crap whinging like this, when I know that lots of MNers have dc with much more severe needs -I really don't want to come across as tactless.
Just don't know where else to turn. Nobody I know in RL has a clue how emotionally and mentally draining she is at the moment.Most importantly, though, I am worried sick about her and how she must be feeling.
Her tantrums are starting to become more frequent in public, too - four in the last 3 days; usually over telling her it's time to go home/she has to share her DS game;etc.
I have a feeling we won't get a dx tomorrow -the doctor said last time that her social skills were 'too good'. Of course, I'm not wishing a dx onto her, but I'm terrified of coming away with the doctor claiming it's anxiery-related. Where does that leave DD;my instincts tell me it runs far deeper than that.
That's why I'm scared of my reaction. I already feel at the end of my tether and it won't help dd if lose control. I've never been confrontational or very assertive, but I feel like an elastic band that's about to snap.
Sorry for the rant and thanks for letting me get it off my chest.xx
