Support Groups
Close Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD)
My husband and i are foster parents of 3 special needs children. One of the foster children is 7 yrs old and both me and my husband feel like we are at our wits end, and we don't know where to turn anymore. This child is begining to take things in the middle of the night, such as food, and he eats until he makes himself sick. We have tried to explain that this isn't appropriate,but it's like he doesn't care. There are many other things that he does,such as he's extremely violent to others.
Treatments
- Risperdal Somewhat Helpful
- This child has a growing problem so the meds that he's on is at a fairly low dose as the dr's can't increase it cause of his weight and he has a wieght gaining problem
Close ADHD / ADD
my husband and i are foster parents of 3 special needs children and they all have adhd, we are looking for some support and new ways to help these children...
Treatments
- Clonidine Working / Worked
- Our one foster son takes clonidine to help him go to sleep at night and it seems to help him a lot!
- Music Therapy Working / Worked
- The psychiatrist suggested our 9 yr old take piano, and he's now into his 3rd yr of it and he loves it!
- Ritalin Working / Worked
- it seems to work on one of the children, but deffinately not on the other child that is on it.
Open Obesity
I have been overweight all of my life right from when i was a pre-teen and it still continues. I have tried different diets and gym programs and nothing seems to work.
Treatments
- Cycling Not Working
- never seen any difference!
- Physical Exercise Somewhat Helpful
- It would help a little, but as soon as i would eat a meal i felt like it all came back!
- Weight Watchers Not Working
- i was on w.watchers as a teenager and it never seemed to help at all!
Open Healthy Relationships
I have been married for 9 years and before we became foster parents our marriage/relationship was really good. About 1 yr ago, our marriage stated going down hill because our communication went right out the window. It seems like everytime we talk it's always about the kids and we never make anytime for just us. Since we are foster parents we never get any us time as we are restricted to who can babysit the kids,which is putting a huge strain on our marriage.We are still very much in love!
Treatments
Open Healthy Sex
I have been married for 9 yrs and my sex life was pretty good up until about 1 yr ago...My husband started withdrawing from me and distancing himself and i'm not too sure why that is...Sex in our relationship is pretty much next to nothing, and there are a few things in our sex life that i would like to try, but my husband thinks that it's gross, and i don't think it's too outragous...
Treatments
- Patience Working / Worked
Open Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionI am a mother of 3 and a step mom to twin boys! I have felt seriously depressed for about 6 months, but i'm just starting to share it with ppl as it is beginning to overwhelm me to the point that i can't sleep, eat, function properly. I have not sought help from any professionals before, for i'm trying to overcome this on my own. I am having a really hard time admitting out loud that i have depression problems!
Treatments
- Celexa Somewhat Helpful
- Meditation Working / Worked
- Wellbutrin Too Soon to Tell
- Writing Working / Worked
Open Kleptomania
My husband and I have a 7 yr old son who get's total thrill out of stealing things..it's not that he steals things to have them for his own use, he just steals them for the pure thrill!
Open Asperger Syndrome
My husband and i just found out yesturday that our 5 yr old daughter has Asperger's and i don't have any clue what it's all about!
Treatments
- Ritalin Too Soon to Tell
Open Infertility
I have been with my husband for almost 13 yr's and we have tried pretty much since we met to have children and found out that we can't b/c of a problem that i have. I don't get my periods cause the lining of my uterus is too thick for my eggs to drop. Any questions, plz just ask me!
Treatments
- Adoption Somewhat Helpful
- we are foster parents cause we can't conceive and we are adopting 2 of the foster kids we have right now

My husband and i have a 6 yr old foster daughter but she is delayed and mentally she is about 2-3 yr's old. She suffer's from adhd, fasd, autism and now pediatric schizophrenia.
