Keep thinking it is Friday. The reality bites and 5 minutes later it feels like Friday again.
Going to be a long day lol.

Hi @Exhaustedmum and welcome to the forums π.
This is a good place to find some other exhausted parents, and share a virtual cuppa for a little while.
I hope today has been as okay as it can be.

Thank you for adding me to this. The last few days have been really tough with my daughter having another episode due to school bullying. Iβm really struggling to stay positive with the psychiatrists trying to figure out whatβs going on for her and until then limited medication options which means she is waking at all hours of the morning. Then my little boy who has high functioning ASD is getting no asssistanxe from the OT or speechie because he canβt regulate and yells and swears when he is frustrated. He is 7! Just wondering what works for people when you are struggling to get up and face the day to do your normal day to day things. It just feels like there is no joy.

Morning @Exhaustedmum have you applied for the NDIS for children as my youngest son also has Autism/ADD/Anxiety and my eldest one has High Functioning Autism and it was really hard to get the therapy that they needed, and since being on NDIS is getting the services is learning to manage his issues.
It is so hard when you aren't getting the proper assistance to help you and your childhood, I just take one minute at a time each day as it's easier to manage, each day is different as you would know so you could try and see if it helps a little bit.
Welcome to our forum family and you have come to the right place there is usually someone on here 24/7 as a lot of us have sleeping trouble so you can always just read post or post yourself, I hope your day is not to stressful

Thanks @saturnzoon we have an ndis plan for him which I think is why Iβm finding it frustrating that the therapy team wonβt work with him. They just keep saying he needs to engage with a psychologist which is fine but until then nobody is helping him with a large early intervention plan. We donβt have any family support around us as they all live a couple of hours away. Itβs driving my husband and I further apart as we are both exhausted and are considering moving to be closer to family. Iβm so glad I have found a place to share these struggles without judgement.

I made it a mission to find a joy-drop in each day, even if it was just wearing my favourite colour in something .... or nail polish I liked. Sometimes itβs a flower in soneoneβs garden that is really pretty, or a fur-canβt our walking with their people .... falling leaves, rain, fresh fruit - something. It has helped to keep me grounded when my world has tipped upside down and right side up again ..... repeatedly .....
