I do know what you mean. I was like this when my kids were n't

medicated and everything was very stressful. i hated interacting w/

other adults be/c i was very preoccppied and depressed about my kids

and the behavior. I found it has calmed down considerable when they

are medicated correctly and their behavior improves and is stable.

have you had any luck w/ medications? If not, once you find the right

meds hopefully it will improve for you and this will be temporary.
