For a while I have tried to find a thread I had started when I joined the forum that could be a "home" thread for me.
Being busy about the forum has been a coping style, where I can acknowledge all my different life experiences that had been silenced. Possibly do some good and prevent things from getting worse. Like the little boy with the finger in the dyke.

Not sure what is happening for you @Appleblossom. I’ve been absent again. Here to chat if it helps. Ok if not too. Offering some nature too for some serenity (which may or may not help 😘)
hugs too 💜🤗

@Appleblossom I suspect that things with your son are still tenuous and that is causing you some of the stress. I hope the emails with your psych have helped you at least a little today. I also know those guidelines were very triggering for you so hope you can reach some resolution with what you suggest is added as well.
Thinking of you Apple

My psychologist wants me to tread very carefully with my son atm. we dont need another episode. I might call his health care team. It would be the first time as I wanted him to have space.
I had lovely coffee after last nights rehearsal with 3 lovely ladies. That helped.
Thank you everybody for support I am going to take prn for next few days til more appointments are arranged or things shift at home. Just in case.

That must be difficult for you to do @Appleblossom but understand the reasoning behind it. It is reat that you have support from your psychologist - that you can email and seek advice.
I think calling his health care team is a good idea - might give you some extra support too to help deal with him at the moment.
So pleased you had a lovely coffee with those ladies last night - any little thing that helps you right now is a good thing.
Thinking of you Hon and here if you need
