Sorry to be negative. But do you struggle with it?

[Mybestfriends in reply to Sarahparker1]

With them both, yes. Lol 😆 love them dearly, but it is very stressful. Hubby we knew he has adhd, but he recently asked his Gp, but doesn't want anything further. Son we were searching for answers from aged 6 yrs, got some idea aged 8yrs, but not formal, full Diagnosis's. A little support in School Senco, but for sure he should of been put into A Special Needs, Learning Difficulties, Disabilities School & Not Mainstream. Bullied all through Schools from Middle & in High School, all in Dorset uk. We took him to Gp due to feeling stuck, he had Heartbreak aged 17/18yrs & Early intervention team came to visit, they spent 1 hour with Son & made appointment with Amht, Psychiatrist diagnosed & Medicated him Schizophrenia. We feel that she Should of looked at Assessing him First, for Autistic Spectrum. As Son ended up aged 30yrs inpatient under Section 2, then 3 to change meds to Depot injection. Now he certainly has Phychosis. From Trauma. The hurtful thing is, the Same Psychiatrist after he turned 30yr old & after inpatient, Diagnosed Son with Autistic Spectrum communication, turns out she was a Specialist in this field. Makes my blood boil, that he may have been Misdiagnosed when 18yrs old, & maynot of had Schizophrenia back then, but Traumas have given Psychosis & I think Ptsd & he agrees ptsd.
