Hi @HappyEmu

I just wanted to welcome you to the forum. It is so difficult, especially as you were saying, as an adult they often will not keep you in the loop around medications and decisions and you are the person who is there all the time to support them which is so exhausting and can feel incredibly lonely at times. Thank you for being here and sharing your journey.

Hi, new to this page. I'm mum to an 18 year old daughter going through major mental health issues. After five plus years of being her constant support, I am struggling. I've signed up in the hope that there's others going through similar because I feel so alone in this

Welcome @Billie12 @HappyEmu ,

We are glad to have you with us.

Being a carer can be amazing, yet it can also be a lonely road. We are here for each other.
