Apprehensive just now, MAY be getting nearer to help for our adult son;
2 days ago he gave permission for us to try and find someone to assess and see if he might benefit from some therapeutic 'help' as we had been gently suggesting, but he always resisting.But this is to be allowed as a kind of 'test' only.He is sure he is not ill.
He had been low and disorganised and kept repeating 'I just dont know' so it seemed a good time to say it was hard for us to see him in this distress and puzzlement, if there was something 'simple' that might help that part of the problem, see things more clearly. Still accepting that in his view, things had external causes, 'the facts' that he was putting together to 'make sense'...
The next day,and I felt that was encouraging, he asked, if we had done anything about 'that matter'. I felt part of him was really wanting , asking for relief, but he could not initiate action himself. Was glad to say that we had got some info, and expect a pdoc's call today. Fingers crossed.
However since there has been a swing away from that, (partly fear induced I am sure, partly because different thought processes enter and take precedence) and so just don't know how things will develop. If he will get cold feet. Must not raise our hopes too high.
