Re: Caring for 18 year old son
@Ljr2005 @Kat48
Hi there. This is my first post on the forum, so I hope I’m doing it right with the @ symbols to reply to you both.
I just wanted to say that I’m a mum of a 17 year old son who had a first episode of psychosis this time last year (at age 16). He was briefly hospitalised at the time and has since been diagnosed with bipolar 1.
It has been a huge learning curve and it is by far the hardest thing I have ever coped with as a parent - or really in my whole life. It’s turned my life completely upside down. I am so lonely - I feel very alone as I don’t know any other mums with teenagers dealing with this.
So, I just wanted to thank you for your posts and say that I’m here too. And I see you both. Sending digital hugs.
