We are having a really tough time now with Drake. What is even harder is my daughter Addison just sits quietly and watches as he melts down day after day. I don't think that he had these kinds of meltdowns in his terrible threes. I get very frustrated and then guilty because he is doing all he can do to get through the day. We are about to start cognitive behavior therapy and I hope that we can learn some ways to handle these meltdowns. On the surface, he looks like a bratty little kid who throws himself in the floor when he doesn't get his way. But in reality, he is struggling to keep himself busy so that he doesn't have to deal with the bad thoughts that constantly interrupt his day.
I feel so helpless right now. I can't stand watching my child suffer, why can't I help him? I called the doctor and she wants to add an anti-depressant to his meds but I am scared to do that. I am really confused right now.
