11/4/2023 0 Comments Oops sushi and sakeHe’s quite good on the science of how to naturally support your own mental health (I have read your previous threads though and think that if you went to the gp and got some antidepressants, they may well ‘tide you over’ this difficult period - I took them as a young adult upon the implosion of my family and in retrospect they just lifted me up to be able to live a very functioning life and find the joy in ordinary life again. I have been listening to some Huberman podcasts because I am a bit emotionally and physically wrung out from the last few years and needed to help support myself. Tell your DH to deal with older child and you go have fun with DS.īig hugs.you are amazing to have survived this for so long. I hope you find something that is easy for you and equally engaging for him. A few more my son enjoys are paddle boarding, kayaking, crazy golf, cooking (only when it's a gousto box), watching shows on Netflix like big bang theory. Some of the previous suggestions are great. And you may even enjoy it though it may not feel like at the moment. But I think it is important to do so for his sake.

I just don’t think he’s having, or had, much fun. It’s very boring and lonely for me, I hope not for DS but I think he’s depressed and obv missing his sister. We are me and DH, but DH is knackered and in bed watching TV by 8. They all have big families and are otherwise occupied at weekends- DS won’t ask anyone round and just seems bored, even with the computer. His mates ( go to a different school) school apparently don’t do anything in the week. He doesn’t talk, eats dinner and legs it upstairs again to the computer. He is doing well academically but doesn’t like the nerds he’s got stuck with. He goes to his room to play on the computer All.The Time. Live posted on a different thread about this and have had my sanity saved by you guys. She now doesn’t contact us or her bf at all. they now live with partners mum, who DD also said had bad MH. The partner has had puberty blockers and testosterone which DD said affected her MH. We’ve had some Tough Times, and at Xmas DD ( then 17) just vanished to be with her partner.
