Sending you prayers and a big mom to mom hug.
Even when we think they're doing better and they seem to
actually be "getting it", the monster (addiction) calls them back.
I've been there. Heck, I could be there tomorrow. Hence the saying...
One day at a time.
My son has been seeing a doctor and is taking lithium for bi-polar disorder.
This he found out on his own by explaining his symptoms to a "family" physician. Not a psychiatrist, like I told him to go see. That burns my butt that he's letting a general practitioner diagnose him bi-polar. He needs counseling and therapy. What do I know?
Yesterday, he called me at work, crying. Said he couldn't take the job he had for a week. Too much stress and it was causing anxiety attacks.
I give up. He needs professional help and swears he can't get that kind of help with no insurance. Says he's tried to get a medical card twice before and both times they refuse the medical card, but gave him food stamps for a month. Wtf? All I want is for him to feel normal without abusing drugs and alcohol. I think things are heading a bad way for him.
I'm with you. This sucks! I'm glad he's in the boonies and I'm in the city.
If he were here, I think I would let him suck me right down with him.
I'll pray for strength and perseverance for us both, 'k?
Love to you,
Linda
p.s. it took forever for me to be able to update and say how well i feel he's been doing. jumped the gun again, i guess. i think i'll just keep my mouth shut on his progess or spiral downward from now on.
