[QUOTE="buddy, post: 477991, member: 12886"] No worries, if anyone understands that we all have issues and that we all can only do what we can do, it is those of us here! You just take care of yourself and yours. Your medications? have you told your doctor they make you so tired? If you have to be on them, and at that dose, maybe they can give you something for the side effects. I had that happen for a couple of years and they gave me a medication that is not an amphetamine, but is closely related, and has less side effects than Ritalin and others like that. It was Provigil and there are others like it. You can have it called in and get refills on it, so not in the same class as Ritalin but it is controlled more than others because I had to change pharmacies and they said it can only be done once with that kind of medication. Just a thought, maybe you have tried it already but in case... It would be great if you could get that kind of suppport and I know they did some shows like that before. I remember one family where the dad seemed delusional but Dr. Phil never said so. He said God was telling him he needed to do x,y, z he felt that he WAS working though it was all on his invented jobs and got them no money. they ended up in rental housing with no water, no electricity an no gas. very cold and they had just had another baby because God wanted them to accept any children He gave them. Grandparents had bailed them out many times, were running out of money, etc. They had to stop. I bet you can find it in the archives for their show. The kept saying the kids dont mind, they are fine...Dr Phil said he himself had to live that way and the kids ARE NOT fine. They just wont tell. You are doing the best you can for now (and it is worth the lost sleep --once in a while that is---for those cuddles, huh?) If not Dr. Phil, what about a community health psychiatric who can do a family meeting? Thinking of you... [/QUOTE]
