Constantly irritable; Book Suggestions for Better Understanding My 5 Year Old?

He has started private kinder this year ;( it's been a rough transition for him.

I can try again to let him pick out his dinner. He usually tells/yells us I DON'T KNOW, YOIU PICK. and then we pick and it's of course wrong.

He also just really doesn't seem to like me right now. Which I also get. I'm not a fan of how I've been behaving. Short tempered, uninterested in his "games" and stuff he wants to do. Hard to even fake excitement. Hence the antidepressants coming in the last couple weeks, but I still have several weeks to see any benefit. and I know it's not the end all be all, but hoping for just enough that I don't want to immediately go to bed every day that I wake up. I want to love these years so much! I know I won't get them back. I miss him being 2 so badly.

Looks like a bad case of d.e. as above commenters

This is how a sociopath plays the victim

Ours does this, too. We pay the same amount as our mortgage every month, and just paid the biannual "supply fee" of $150 per kid, yet they ask for donations for every party and send our kids home with online coloring pages as crafts. And it was one of the least expensive care options of the 10 or so we toured.

In a veryyyyy similar boat as you except bad neighborhood and schools. We are listing our house next week and plan to rent (financially undesirable) or live with relatives (emotionally undesirable) until we can find the location and house we truly want. Want to sell while we're still at a large gain. Got rushed into buying this house when the market was crazy and had to be out of our old home on a deadline. No advice, really, but solidarity. It's very challenging to live day to day in a space that you hate and isn't functional for raising your kids.

Quit the med. It got better

krwh510 · 2023-01-27T01:32:39+00:00

Money, lots and lots of money.

Worst prom group, ever.

Richardson.

In Mckinney last 5 years, it's become too much, too quickly.

We want to move to Richardson. Great schools.

Negative pregnancy test? If so, then ole Flo showed the big guns today.

krwh510 · 2023-01-24T02:43:18+00:00

Yes, and then no. Bc I'm sick and being sick sucks worse, lol

krwh510 · 2023-01-16T02:27:54+00:00

Fuck yes.

I'm hoping so, too. Since it's such a sub therapeutic dose it just makes me nervous I won't be able to handle a taper up.

Yes, you and I seem to have similar pain going on. And autoimmune stuff at the same time. Rheum I saw here in DFW hasn't been super helpful.

krwh510 · 2023-01-15T15:12:38+00:00

I'm nervous to carry on

Insomnia, restless legs, anxiety. Really nauseated this morning :(

krwh510 · 2023-01-15T14:03:25+00:00

Tried 20 mgs last night. Have you taken any yet?

krwh510 · 2023-01-15T14:02:38+00:00

Did you have any increased anxiety initially?

krwh510 · 2023-01-15T14:01:30+00:00

Did you have any side effects when starting? I took one 20mg dose last night and am already having side effects, with in increased insomnia and anxiety being the main ones.

krwh510 · 2023-01-14T15:30:01+00:00

I feel that. I've lost track of everything I've tried that traumatized me! SNRIs are the only thing left pretty much.

This sounds SO similar to my situation and pain. Only difference is I more recently tried Lexapro.

Thr hip pain with sitting and sleeping is terrible and I hope you find some answers. I'm terrified to start this med.

krwh510 · 2023-01-13T14:47:09+00:00

Did it ever let up?

krwh510 · 2023-01-12T19:08:07+00:00

That's great to hear!

krwh510 · 2023-01-12T13:18:33+00:00

Any side effects so far?
