Hi mom of an adhd child as well so I know what you're going through. I'm not saying this will work right away but I bought my child a toy punching bag to use when they get mad, I also bought a couple of chewy toys that you can find on amazon for kids with adhd. It helps a lot when she wants to bite me. I won't say that it gets easy dealing with it but ask your doctor for some ways to help get that energy and aggression out

I know how hard it is.
Iv been through my own hell ,I recently finally after 3 years changed my dr for my son as thats how long it took me to get someone else
My gp wont do diagnosis of adhd
However my sons peaditrican is MEANT to do this!
So in short this where I am in 2022/2023
I kept insisting something was off that the daycare and kindy had concerns and that i noticed a lot of signs myself. ( deep down i knew he had it from the age of 3) and I kept saying over and over again he needs to be tested ,all I got was questionnaires iv gone through countless questionnaires over 4 yrs at 50/100 pages each .I told her I wanted to know weather or not he has it and she kept insisting we wait to school age to do anything .
Well school came! School started !( 2024)
And the shitshow began
The way the school treated him was truly beyond words disgusting is the word id use ,he was humiliated ,separated from the others, consentely sent to the office for no fkn reason ,each time I was pulled aside by the teacher

And went on and on about the dumbest things
So there was email after email call after call
Meeting after meeting oh God
It got to the point where I finally said you keep this up he wont be going to school anymore as he was making up reasons to stay home,wld sleep in my bed by 5 months in he broke down in my arms and told me he didnt want to go to school anymore and im not someone who will force him,his mental state was suffering .so I really had to put my foot down I also rubbed in there face ( politely)
That getting a diagnosis takes time ,tests,waiting lists etc etc and I told them time and again I have no say in how long the process takes .I really had to guilt them with the truth ,there response was "no one is questioning your commitment to finding answers " I felt like saying you fkn sure! All you are doing is stressing me out and giving him a breakdown
All the while my hunt for a dr was on countless calls and nos
Apparently she "diagnosised him"
But other specialists doing testing had not

Diagnosed him with anything, including a call for government help that cld pay for OT and other therapies
She said with everything i had given nothing said adhd
She kept saying I had been misinformed 😪🤬
So now its been a week new dr proper on paper documented diagnosis! ! And we start medication very soon .
Its a fkn process
