How can I cope with my feelings if I have a child with ADHD?

If you have a child with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), while it is predictable that at times you will feel hopeless, helpless, angry, frustrated, and filled with despair, it is also important that you find effective strategies for coping with these feelings. Validate and honor these feelings, but learn not to become overwhelmed by them. For example, if you have to face yet another teacher making complaints about your child's behavior in class, you may feel a sense of despair clouding your mind.

But you don't want to repress the feeling and pretend everything is okay. Neither do you want to just give in to it, go to bed, and pull the covers over your head. You, too, can surf it out.

You will find that when you allow yourself to feel the despair and let it peak in intensity, it will subside. When you feel despair or hopelessness to its full power, you may find that the experience not only lessens the emotion but transforms into a radically different experience. Psychologist Alvin Mahrer calls this transformation of fully experienced emotion "the deeper potential of experiencing.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
