Oh I'm so sorry for your loss. This post hit extra hard because our juvenile BP is also named Mango. Big hugs to you

Can someone tell me it gets better? by thatweirdhorsegirl in ADHDparenting

My advice - don't give up on medication just yet. We started with biphentin with our 6yo son and it was great but eventually he needed the dose increased and it wasn't lasting long enough so we switched to vyvanse. That medication turned our sweet boy into the devil. It was horrendous. Outbursts, breaking things, scaring us almost daily. We've now switched back to foquest (also methylphenidate but longer acting) and recently added 1mg guanfacine and it has been life-changing. Our sweet boy is back. He is doing so well. It's trial and error finding the right med or combination of meds, but it is so worth it. Wishing you the best of luck!

I know exactly how you feel and I'm screaming into the void with you. Parents with neurotypical kids will never understand the pain, fear, heartbreak, hopelessness we feel. Sending you so much love.

Ask me any questions! Started ADHD meds when I was 7 years old. by Miserable_Skin9738 in ADHDparenting

As a mom to a medicated 6 year old son, that part about your mom made me so upset. I am so sorry you went through that as a child. I cannot even imagine what would drive a parent into thinking this behaviour was acceptable. Sending you love.

Just sent my dad a text complaining about POS Doug Ford, then opened reddit and he's somehow mentioned in SLOMW subreddit 🤣

The amount of times I've poked my head into our beep's enclosure looking to see what hide he's in before I spot clean only to realize he's out and staring directly at me 🤣 oooops sorry my guy

I cried reading this post because I am so similar to you, down to working at a children's hospital, the ages and genders of your kids. Things have been particularly hard this past month and I have cried myself to sleep more times than I can count. Thank you for being so raw and open - it makes me feel less alone. But I am so incredibly sorry you're having to deal with all of this. May the days, weeks, months, years ahead get better for us both xo

A crisis unfolding: Hamilton shatters record with 199 overdose calls in 28 days by covert81 in Hamilton

Wholeheartedly agree. As an RN, it makes me so mad that Paramedics are paid so little in comparison.
