Re: Son2
@Meowmy yes I think you are right re seperation anxiety. He got his diagnosis of autism at 2 1/2 years old and it has been a constant battle since then with his epilepsy and then his schizophrenia. I cannot help but feel super protective and worried because it has been going on so long and I have not been able to make it all better for him.
You are right however nothing would make me happier than to see him with a girlfriend and in a job. That would make me thrilled to bits :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D.

Re: Son2
I know today wont be much easier but I do hope you have some time for some self care today. It isn't easy at all even if it is the right thing to do.
Do you think you could speak to your psychiatrist or your psychologist, if I remember right you had a good connection with one of them? it defiantly sounds like abit of extra support would be a good idea.
Would you like me to share some of the things that help me when im in a dark place feeling smothered by my own thoughts and sh urges?

Re: Son2
Depnding on my mood and energy levels these are some of the things that help me
-a hot shower
- watching a funny or engaging movie which for me is things like jurrassic park- something abit intense but not overly scary,
- exercise- usually abit of cardio like some weights or exercise bike
- journaling or using my worry box
-crochet or something crafty
- baking or trying out a new recipie.
mm im sure there are more but im not coming up with much. When I have really high sh urges I feel like I need to get out that nervous energy or have something to really focus on to get my mind off those thoughts.
