Self harm is a condition that gets brushed under the rug. It is almost like an embarrassing subject. It is a mental illness that I am learning about. This disorder is effecting my family and I would like to understand and defeat it. My child has a pain that I can not fix myself. Us mothers love to help our babies when they need us. I can remember all the times that my hugs, my words or even my cooking and baking could wipe a tear and heal the soul. But this time, my helping is hurting. If one is not educated on certain things, there is no way that you can help. No amount of mother's love can fix what a child is going through inside. This blog will serve as an outlet for me as I deal with helping my family get better. Mental health issues are not about color, gender, age, or up bringing. It can come in the dark and turn your life upside as it is happening to me.

Concerned about Concerta
I have a son who's 7 years old, and for a long time I have noticed his behavior changing. He can not keep still, shouts out of impulse, and is constantly in trouble in school and day care. Over the years, I have dealt with these issues, but now it has been to the point where he may loose his school bus privledges, due to his behavior. The daycare workers always have this funny look on their faces when I drop him off...
To make a long story short, I am now working with his teachers,his doctor, and a therapist to get him some help. He is now taking Concerta, which I give him in the morning. On day one, I noticed that he was a little bit hyper than normal, and today which is the second day, I noticed that he appearred to be a little bit out of it. I had to hold back my tears because i do not want to harm my son, I only want the best for him. As I am typing this now, I am choking back my tears.. I hope this works for him so that he can focus on school and other things. I will keep a diary as things happen in our lives.......
