It is only here that one finds the real stories of what is happening or NOT in mental health .It often worries me when the TV programs after reporting some event say to the viewers that if this has raised concerns for them to ring Lifeline.How good IS lifeline?i think they are amateurs given in house training .We have a Mental Health Access line which does triage over the phone.Haven't used it for a long time so don't know how well it works.As for GP,s ..you have to find the right one..but sometimes they can get you to see the Local Health Service's mental health teM.

hello @Jbck
nice to see you again
feeling guilt, shame, anger, frustration all very natural feelings when caring for someone whom appears to not have motivation or desire to go on. This is aside from someone having a mental illness.
It is a good thing that you recognise and acknowledge these feelings...do not bury them
the love and determination that you continue to hold for your son is inspiring
You rant all you want....if you want to call it whining....you whine all you want...try not to berate yourself..
I work very hard at living in the now....not always successful....a work in progress

hello @Jbck
Thought that I would just pass by and see how you are today? also to see if your son is feeling any less distressed?
No need to reply with a lengthy response if you are busy or just have no energy left.
I do understand.
Thinking of you
