I told him that. He still feels like he is "not even acting like an adult". He is very hard on himself... He feels that he can do it on his own.

I know he is an adult. But....I hope he is walking. That alone will help. I told you that I lived close to him for awhile. You know how beautiful it is there.
Insane was exactly right. If there is stigma, it is not his. This is a family crisis. Anybody would be responding as he is, if they were like him responsible, loving and decent. What a great young man.
Is he too young for me?

And that alone would be reason to seek help.
If he feels this way... what is his plan, the timeline, and the fall-back plan if it doesn't work. If he has those three things in place, he may be able to do it on his own. Otherwise, its just a stall tactic.

Hi Everyone - just checking in. Nothing new to report. It's been raining constantly today so cleaned and started to put up Christmas tree but ugh, just the thought...not quite ready to drag all that stuff out - not jolly enough yet. My emotions are wearing me out. Wish I could put my mind on MUTE and let it rest. Worrying and thinking about my Difficult Child...I feel like poltergeists are in my brain going non-stop (remember in the movie where they open the closet and toys and flying books come at them?). That's my brain ->

I read that when we play Christmas music relentlessly, we will find ourselves in a generous Christmas mood. I am doing that little by little but not relentlessly.

Hi, guys. I am so very sorry. I have been overwhelmed at work and ill.
I have had to evacuate my class 4 times in the last 2 weeks to keep the rest of my class safe from one violent student. I have been very stressed and have had to write up each incident and schedule conferences and emergency I.E.P's.
My middle son up North has been on antidepressants for almost 2 weeks...2 more weeks for full effectiveness. Being a molecular biologist major his concern was what the pills actually do to your cells. But, he finally decided that the pros out-weighed the cons. He also has started to use a tutor for the first time in his life. Even being the upper 2 percentile in I.Q., you need one sometimes... His depression has robbed him of his concentration.
I have been feeling dizzy at night and in the morning. I have been very good on a low carb/sugar diet and have tried to walk and exercise more to fight my pre diabetes.
But, last Saturday night I was very dizzy. The room was spinning and I had horizontal nystagmus. My youngest son got me some orange juice. I thought that it was perhaps low sugar. I went to bed.
Sunday morning, I could not stand up without falling over. I could not bend over or walk. I yelled for my son. He drove me to the hospital. I vomited in a large plastic bag upon arrival. They tested my blood sugar...normal.
My next fear, as well as there's, was the question...was my tumor growing back?
I had never had this dizziness and nausea, except once with my tumor. At that time, I did not know that I had a tumor yet, and thought that it was the flu.
We had to wait 7 hours for the brain scan. I joked for my son and he joked for me. We were both privately being 'strong' for each other.
The CAT scan came back fine. I still need my 50 minute MRI, with and without contrast, but their scan was clean. No neoplasm...or rather, tumor.
I have been on valium to correct the vertigo. I took off Monday. On Tuesday I wore flats, prayed, took my valium, and went to work. My classroom is up a small hill, but I did it! I was a bit wobbly and very tired, but no one noticed.
Again, I apologize. You are the best friends in the world. I have just been exhausted and have off the charts amount of work due at work....on top of planning fun crafts and a Winter Break Party. I am just taking one day at a time.
Also, my youngest son wants to move out. He is 24 and it is time. He said that he is the only one of his friends who still lives at home and that he cannot meet a girlfriend living with his mom.
I am glad that he no longer has to be afraid for my safety and am giving my blessing. Also, he will be safer away from here. My ill son could not harm him.
But, down deep...I am petrified. I would never tell him, but I am extremely terrified to be alone. I do not know how I will get through it. I have always been strong...so I will.
Oh, well. One day at a time...roar...sort of.
I hope that you are all doing okay. Sending positive vibes out to my fellow warriors and to all troubled parents.

Feeling Sad, I am so glad you are back. So much hard stuff going on. You sound so strong. You are doing all the things you need to.
I will have to get more pictures to remind you.
I am so glad you are back. And OK.

Good, mature, responsible actions. I am glad.
Great.
Oh. How scary.
Oh dear. What a good son, he is.
Thank goodness. I am glad you got those medical things done. Remember we resolved to do all of those good things. You did them all. I did none.
Oh dear. You handled it well, though.
Feeling, what about a dog? Do you hate them? Remember my list of all the wonderful non-allergenic breeds, including the Chinese Crested Hairless?
I will have to get more pictures to remind you.
I am so glad you are back. And OK.

He or she looks like I feel...frazzled and dizzy.
Very 'cute'. I have had Labrador and golden retrievers. So this is a Chinese Crested Hairless. They have a very unique look.
Are you going to dream about them now?
Right now...I am so tired of taking care of people...I do not want to be responsible for anything...yet.
When I divorced my second husband, he left his goldens. My son's loved them. When only one was left and very old, my ill son insisted on making him an inside dog for the first time ever. I couldn't say no because he could barely walk. But, with my allergies, I had 2 ear infections for the first time in my life. Both of my ears bled and I lost hearing. The thought of a dog...even a 'cute' hairless...scares me.
It would be a good companion though. I do not think that it could hold off an intruder, though. Maybe...lick them unconscious or nip at their heels...
Thank you for thinking of strategies for me!
My house is pretty large and seems scarier now. I have the alarm system. I will make it...just no ghost or scary movies for me! It is going to difficult to sleep. He won't move out for a month or so. I am scared alreafy. But, I will act fine...always the actress...sans the white gloves!
