[QUOTE="rosanna-d, post: 725306, member: 22599"] As I’ve come to realize, my son has no rational reason for not getting help. He’s had many excuses why things aren’t going right of course. The whole anxiety about not trusting medications, or even b12, which the hematologist insisted he needs to take, is so frustrating. I’d like to just put it in his food. There are lots of resources where we live for him to access help and support. I don’t know what it will take to make that happen. I really had hoped the last episode where he injured his hand may have been it. To answer your question re my support, family - he is my only son. I lost my parents and my brother all before I was 23. (Brother was 14 and I was 6 when he died. My mom died when I was 13 and my dad when I was 23). I’ve been in the psychiatric ward twice as a young woman, then got married...had my son, divorced at 36. Bad relationship for a few years, then met my current husband. He’s very supportive but he is also black and white. And he has a hard time understanding mental illness, never being affected by it himself. But I know he has my back, and I know he wants the best for my son. I have no extended family so it’s pretty much us. My husband works away so I am on my own with this a lot. I have made the decision to see my counsellor that I saw 14 years ago when I was dealing with my own depression/anxiety and ptsd. See her Tuesday. [/QUOTE]
