Still holding

I am still using pure avoidance in dealing with the 30+ son in undiagnosed episode. I do not believe narcolepsy can do this to a person. I have been sleeping on my cot in the studio, working my program to keep my own emotional balance. Hubby doesn't have a private studio to sleep in but he is working allot, even by his work-a-holic measure.

Can't bring myself to make that 9-1-1 call. With adults there is not much else that can be done. Still praying. Hoping. Wishing. Crying.

So sorry, arfie, it sounds like true distress. Glad you found a way to work and distract yourself, and prayers are going out as to how you decide this might resolve. It's a hard situation, very hard. Gentle vibes your way and kind wishes.

I don't think we can ever escape the capacity to hurt, when it comes to our kids and our parents. There's a certain kind of immutable vulnerability for both.

But ... I can still hold out that wish for you.

The only thing worse ... and I don't believe it's in your DNA ... is if you didn't care ... and didn't hurt ... for your son.

The price we pay to be sensitive sorts, huh ?

I wish you peace, health, and strength, and a MUCH better than expected outcome :-)

Thanks all. PIP (Prayers In Progress)

Too bad our own tears do not have the power to wash away another's pain.

I know. What a poetic way to say that, arfie. If only.

    I haven't written in my diary on my computer since May because I thought that my computer was dying.  I got away from writing but my computer is hanging in there.  I think that I will start writing in it again.  It's so therapeutic.

    First, I hope everyone is doing well, and continuing to fight that good fight! Keep up the great work on yourselves; I'm rooting for all of you!So, I started doing therapy at the beginning of the year, when I was in my most depressed state, but with my therapist, I made big changes and steps in the right direction. But, over a month ago, she couldn't take my insurance anymore, and I had to stop...
