Gee @Cord
you write from a wealth of knowledge ;
hello @Broken51
@Cord @bre78@Shaz51@JoeTheLion
my oldest son ..... at grade 5: was pulled up by his silly grade 5 teacher telling me that he had ADHD. So began his journey into Psychotherapy for a long time. He was angry : I went through a very difficult divorce and his younger brother was medically very ill.
After being mentally abused badly by his father from ages 12 to 15 he ended up going to live with my brother In another state in Australia and at age 18 began smoking pot. He was being placed in locked wards for going Psychotic for long periods of time.
I was flying over to visit once per year when he gave me permission to visit.
My suggestion is to
1: get stronger by looking at your own support network. I personally get support by just listening to Jon Kabat Zinn on utube “ wherever you go, there you are.”
2: writing. Timetable and popping it on your fridge. Ie :
7am : wake up.
7.15 am . Shower
8am : coffee ☕️
8:15am breakfast
9am jog to work
etc,
