Hi @Former-Member
Son now has motivation kicked in within a few days of med change.
We are a bit on the "high side" of things but ok and at least the is out of bed.
He is chasing down a job again.
We have completed a month of compulsory waiting and will have access to private hospital when two months are completed. This is only possible as my husband and I are making this investment in his health.
He is still very reluctant to tackle day to day issues and has no idea about budgeting running up his fines and phone bill. We need to step carefully still prone to irritability but t we are working on making him accountable for his actions and keeping his word.
Accessing help has been difficult and after a challenging time and being frustrated I sent a letter to our local community mental health and their executive including how we are currently stuck and how he is getting jobs not keeping them and cut out because he is not considered bad enough for a case worker. I received a reply and was offered an assessment of my son and they felt hurt would be able to assist in support to hold down a job. Currently trying to plant this idea in my sons mind.
We are moving slowly but at least feel we are going forward and finally have the option of support.
Thanks for following up with me, I really appreciate it.
