@Bunniekins I can see that you really need one. It can be very hard when you child is suffering like he is. I am sure you will be there to support him and get all the help he needs, but it is awful to have to go through.
My teenage daughter who was only 14 at the time went through really bad time a couple of years ago, and I too was devasted, I would often cry myself to sleep. And then I would blame myself for the way she was. But I made sure I supported her in any way that i could. I think really that is all anyone can do.

@Bunniekins Gentle hugs for you. I know well the ache of loving someone struggling with psych issues. I do hope nothing too bad unfolds. Could it be a positive that he is talking out loud about it, rather than having it locked away in his head? Has he looked at some of the online Hearing Voices supports and different materials….
eg
https://supportgroup.mhfa.org.au/hearing-voices-support-group
sometimes if they can share and express themselves it can help

@Bunniekins I'm glad he has a great team of people to support him and he has an amazing mum that cares for him deeply too. It's heartbreaking to watch our kids go through things like this and i know that it's not the life we had hoped for them. But i know you've done everything you can to support your son and you'll continue to do everything you can to make sure he gets through this time. You are an amazing and strong woman and I'm so proud of you my sweet. Love you beautiful ❤️.
