@Shandy; unfortunately the medication has not worked. She’s tired several over the past six months. She’s so flat, gets tired very quickly and spends most time in the house.
The situation is making me feel so sad and down.

It must have taken a lot of bravery to write what you did and at this late time if the day you must feel deeply troubled by the situation you are in. I had a similar situation with my partner until one day I asked him, why do I feel so alone when you’re in the house with me? We don’t live together anymore but are still in a relationship, we seem to be better off apart. There is so much in your message you must be overwhelmed. I would say try to take an issue and try to deal with just one thing at a time, write down what’s important and if it’s your daughter and her health then seek help from medical professionals, you don’t say how old she is? I am sure others will have organisations they have used so hopefully that will help. But I wanted to write something to say you’re not alone even at this late hour. Look after yourself too xx

Sorry to read about your daughter's diagnosis CoffeeFirst - has she received any medication yet? My friend's son was also diagnosed and now he's got the medication 'balance' right, is a lot happier and starting to live the life he wants.

Right now I’m so disillusioned with life.

My youngest DD has been diagnosed with ADHD and high anxiety. She spends most of her time in her room. She’s looking for work but found nothing suitable. I’m not entirely sure she will. She’s not particularly outgoing and prefers her own company anyway. If the mood takes her, she talks to her dad. If we chat, it can go the wrong way and we fall out. We’ve little in common as is.

The eldest lives away and I don’t feel close to him at all.

My parents are elderly and have their own worries health wise so I try not to burden them with mine. My job is ok but the Manager dislikes me and that causes me anxiety. I have few friends and whilst I’m married, hubby tells me not to worry when I talk about how I feel.

Inside I’m dying, I feel so different from anyone else who have nice families and are close to one another. I’m always alone apart from when I go out with hubby. I enjoy shopping, chatting, coffee, all things my daughter hates....so I do them alone.

I often cry through the stress of it all. I’m so lonely, I’m worried about my daughter, what she’ll do in the future, everything...

I’m sat upstairs now and I don’t feel I’ve even got a family...hubby downstairs, daughter in the front room (has been ALL day, I’m here alone.

Where do I move on from here, I don’t feel good at all right now...
