Thank you @Former-Member . I have spoken to someone before and she was lovely. Today I just can't stop crying so can't string a sentence together to speak to someone. I will keep this all in mind though. Thank you x

Hello Myboy

I was once exactly where you are but if it helps I can say that we have thankfully passed through to the other side. It was a long, difficult and desperate journey but my daughter is now working and her future seems much more secure. She still has regular appointments with her psychologist and pscychiatrist but is much more in tune with her own state of mind and can recognise when she needs support a lot more quickly. The turning point for us was two in-patient stays of three weeks duration at a wonderful facility that offered a specific program for young adults, along with my strong advoacy with the Dr to get her medication that actually worked. There was a lot of resistance from her to the hospital but I actually insisted and made it very clear that she was not the only one suffering, It has not been completely smooth sailing but you have to maintain the fight and keep the hope in your heart.
