Treatment order

Hello @Mumslove and your beautiful son.

Just dropping by to let you know that you are thought of and do not want you to feel so alone with it all.

Your son is still there.

This will settle with help of professionals as well as his knowing that his family still love him regardless.

Why wouldn't we. Hard when your mind overtaken though and reassurance is so important.

Hang onto that knowing that he is there.

Hope to read something from you at some stage when you are ready.

Hospital time is the time where you are worn out.

So put yourself, family and your son first.

Take care

sending you love and hugs

Sophia!

Lotus Flower

In Buddhism, the lotus is a symbol of the Buddha’s awakening and a reminder that all beings have the same potential to attain enlightenment. The lotus grows out of mud and rises to the water’s surface to bloom in beauty and purity, so too can the human develop the virtues of a Buddha and rise above desire and attachment to reveal the true nature.

The stage of the lotus flower represents the stages on the spiritual path. For example, a closed bud is synonymous with the beginning of the journey. A partly open flower indicates walking the path. A fully blooming flower signifies the end of the journey--enlightenment.

The lotus blooms profusely in every aspect of buddhist art and literature in all cultures. One of the most important representations of the lotus in literature is the Lotus Sutra.

Hi Sophia, he is slowly improving tho very slowly 🐌 he has a court tribunal tomorrow under the mental health act? And are requesting 4 week to 6 weeks, very scary but l would rather him do a month now then come home and go back or deteriorate etc. I solder on like I'm sure you and everyone else does. It's strange how l feel l can talk to a complete stranger like yourself than l can with even my loved ones. How are you? I do hope your son is in a better place today than yesterday and tomorrow his sunshine shines brightly. Do you have friends or family you can receive some respite and hugs from? I hope this message finds you well

Hi @Anastasia

Whoo go me l tagged you!! Slow and steady win the race!! Oh you are wonderful in giving me all that information, l will look into the ndis funding tho lm not sure what that would mean for someone in his/our situation. I really should of applied for that along time ago when he was registered on the disability register for his I.D hindsight is a wonderful thing isn't it. I hope this message finds you and your family well.

Woot woot, yes I received your tag, thank you @Mumslove and well done!

You have a lot going on. Day by day, if it's meant to be you will tend to it. It's all so exhausting I know.

I will keep you and your son in my thoughts tomorrow dear @Mumslove. Hugs and love 🤗🙏💞

Hello gorgeous @Sophia1 💛🌻

Hi @Mumslove Ive only just come across your post and my heart breaks for you and your son as I have lived it with my girl for the past 10 years. She is now 27 and has had many admissions to hospital over the years, her last one only recently for not taking her meds. She has a depot injection monthly and also an oral medication each night administered by her support team but sneakily was secreting it. Such a long hard road for our kids and ourselves and I too would give anything to be able to make it better for her. All I can do is love and support in any way I can. My girl has estranged herself from me and so I haven't seen or heard from her since my last hospital visit to her in February. She has a good NDIS team looking after her now. Our self care is crucial yet at times so very difficult with the heart felt pain of the situation. Acceptance is hard and takes time but is crucial. I'm not quite there yet. I send you love support and hope. Never give up on hope and be kind to yourself knowing this is not your fault xxxx

Dear @Mumslove

I want to respect your space within all that you are going through.

I also want to respect the space of your beautiful son whom I know you love so deeply.

A time when he is dealing with his own inner turbulence...

I am returning to offer a hand of friendship ....

Please write to me if you feel safe enough to do so, as well as, at the same time, finding some sense of having a place to go to, when needing a sanctuary.

As a child needs a mother and a mother needs her child...a mother also needs to hold onto her self...

sending you virtual support

💜

This breaks my heart to read your story 💔 I am so sorry to hear about you and your daughters struggle. My son returns home tomorrow very excited but very frightened at the same time, yes his definitely better however the delusional thoughts are still evident when we talk. But l will continue to support him the only way l can and that is being there and letting him know he is loved. I haven't even filled out the ndis forms yet honestly l should of some time ago. I feel for you and l really hope things improve. Sorry to ask does your daughter live independently? I worry about when I pass who or how he will look after himself
