For the first time in a long time we will be going to bed crying 😢 not because we are scared, bruised or frightened but because we are hopeful at what the future may hold.
For the first time in months we have gone a day without being hit, punched, spat or kicked at. We have been able to speak to Harry and get a response, we have been able to see him sit and play with a toy for just a short while. Yes he has been at school and it’s very early days but we must be positive that change is coming.

We are on day one of our medication journey. A decision not made lightly but a decision taken out of our hands. A decision made to try and improve Harry’s quality of life and the wellbeing of our family.

Yes it’s early days, and we understand the huge journey ahead. But for today we will take the positive and finally see a glimpse of light at then end of the tunnel.

Good evening

As a family I don’t think we have ever gone through something quite as difficult as we have this weekend. From Friday morning until this evening Harry has been in some kind of distressed state. He has been violent towards us and himself constantly. He has smashed the house up and broken things. have contacted the police, Ambulance, social workers, cahms and mental health teams and not one of them has been able to support us.
Thankfully we seen a private Paediatrician on Friday who diagnosed Harry with Audhd and said he needs medication. Whilst in the office he was disruptive and aggressive. The Paediatrician has explained she is going to try and sort his medication this week. However that unfortunately has not helped this weekend.
I guess what I would like to no is if anyone on here can explain if these behaviours are normal in audhd children? Can the meltdowns and aggression last for days? If so how on earth are people managing? We are preying the medication will help Harry because if not we are going to have to look into getting some more support some how.
Thank you 🙏 😢

Hello and happy new year to you all!

You may have noticed that we have been incredibly quiet in recent months. Unfortunately as a family we have been going through what I can only explain is hell. Our gorgeous boy has been struggling with severe mental health and anxiety that in turn has created quite extreme behavours. On a daily basis over the Xmas period myself, matt and Zack have endured many violent attacks from Harry and it has finally taken its toll. Harry has appeared to become very anxious and uncontrollably hyperactive at times. He can go from being our beautiful boy to being in complete distress. At times we can see what the trigger has been and others it can be out of no where. We are a year into the wait list to go back to the paediatrician for an adhd assessment and possibly meds. However the current wait list is 4 years!!!! We simply can no longer go on as a family like this. We have made the decision to go private and get the support Harry desperately needs now. I want to let my small following no that this decision was not easy and that if you find yourself in this position then there are other options available.

I’m hoping that once we can get Harry some more help and support we can get back to posting and making more happy memories ❤️❤️❤️
