Jennifer: Hang in there! It will get better, I promise. Have you asked your doc about some anti-depressant meds? Maybe that would be an option for you. It's so hard when your child has problems, isn't it? My son has learning disabilities, and always had a hard time in school. The older he got, and the harder the work became, he just gave up more and more. It was heartbreaking, especially when others around you have kids who are all doing so well, making academic honors, etc. It make you wonder what you've done wrong. But, you find out it's just something not in your control. Maybe you could try looking into a support group for parents of kids with ADHD. That might be some help to you. Please keep posting, and don't be afraid to ask for support. Best wishes to you and your son, and congratulations on your weight loss.
