Hi 👋

Hope you are starting to gain a little confidence around joining in some discussions. 

Hope you do something you enjoy this evening.

Hi Liss

I have bipolar so understand something about it.

I don't mind if you vent & I enjoy a laugh.

I too enjoy learning.

I first joined the forum, on this carers side when I was at my wits end. I have been in a carer role as a child and a mum. Its not for the faint hearted.  I am still struggling, but also feel blessed to have family with all their mental health issues. At the moment, our 2 new cats are the biggest consolation. I also feel conflicted about sharing about my adult child, due to wishing to protect his privacy. Often feeling between a rock and a hard place.

Sounds like you are a great support to your son

Life as a carer for a loved one can be so difficult & frustrating sometimes.

Hope your evening is ok.

Hi @Appleblossom 

This is a great forum to talk to people who understand and maintain your child's anonymity. Good luck on your journey.
