Thinking of you today @Anastasia and hoping things begin to ease somewhat with all that you are dealing with.
I read that you called Sane chat yesterday, and hope that it was helpful for you.
Hoping your boy remains safe and that a hospital bed will soon become available which would enable a review of his current treatments.
I hope your workplace is understanding and supportive of any time off or working from home arrangements you need to arrange.
I honestly dont know how you manage all that you do ... you are truly an amazing lady and clearly the best Mum any son could ever hope to have.
Much love and hugs to you my dear friend.
Emelia 💞🤗🌹

Hi @WIP
Thank you...how's things with you?

I'm sort of okay, thanks @Anastasia
Adjusting to being back home has thrown up a few challenges - loneliness has set back in. Levi is fabulous company, but I'm missing human interaction. Too many medical appointments (pdoc, psychologist, DBT group, & meeting a peer worker) - therapy & med changes is hard!
Anyway, whinge over - I'm just in a hurry to feel better. I want my confidence back, I want to work and start living, rather than just existing.
Recovery is a journey, not a destination!
It's also tough, scary and difficult, but remaining the same is too!!
