Update on my son

Hi guys my son is still not better he stayed in the hosp for two weeks and he still thinking the same. Sometimes, patients are discharged to soon. Ijs. Also, he can't return home because of what has been taking place I feel so 😢 and hurt but I did what was best for all of us. I can't rest well anymore then the virus thing causing a lot of mental issue for us.

I hope your son is in a safe place and having good outpatient treatment.

Sounds like you are drained. What are you doing to take care of you?

That's the main reason why I think he's back in the position he was in, no good out patient care nor couseling. Some professional are not consistent etc nor do they really care my son needs consistency etc etc I don't think he'll ever get better thats why I had him removed from my home he wasn't acting right and I had to protect him and us in here. I'm so sad and drained I'm sick myself but I can't even get myself together because of others

It sounds very stressful. You did what you had to do its a shame the system is so broken.

It is hard to do for ourselves when we are the type of people that constantly give of ourselves to others. I've been that way my whole life. Doing for me was a foreign thought. I have started putting myself first in baby steps. I have to say it really makes me feel good.

Try doing one small thing for you. You deserve it. We have to rescue ourselves. No one else can do that for us.

I try to get away when I can I travel sometimes plus take a walk but once I'm back inside I become depressed again. When I'm not home my stress level usually lower and my anxiety level is higher inside plus when I'm out on a trip I feel overwhelmed most of the time. I'm tired of trying to get better

Don't give up. It can take a long time and a lot of work to turn the corner. I have been working on myself for years.

Life is short. You can reach a better place. Don't let depression and anxiety pull you down for good. Start the climb out of the dark hole. You can do it.
