Today I am feeling defeated. I had a visit with the psychiatrist today who was just as frustrated as I was that it seems like all the medical interventions of the past year and a half have gotten us no where except to trade symptoms for side effects. Were changing from Tenex to Clonodine to help with the insomnia and tics and hope that it helps.
She made a comment about another patient whose parents cant accept that their child will likely never live independently and I asked her if she felt that way about manster. She said it was too soon to tell. I was expecting of course not, this situation was much worse than yours. I feel kind of socked in the gut with a reality Im not prepared for. I guess I see him as aspielite which to me means, yes he has it but not to the point of not being able to function independently. Now I wonder if Ive been over-optimistic.
Im questioning every parenting decision I ever made today. Im grieving all over again and I need encouragement.
