[QUOTE="Snapsy, post: 1268953, member: 265172"] [USER=294411]@Littlefootsy[/USER] I'm so sorry to hear that your son is struggling. Diagnosis and all the nitty gritty aspects of a new, overwhelming lifestyle are a big, big deal. I really, really sympathise. I have had some similar experiences to your son's. I have a fabulous counsellor - in a bad patch I will go every fortnight or so - the rest of the time I just check in with her from time to time. Her speciality is supporting people in coping with chronic health conditions. We just talk. I talk. She listens. We laugh. I cry. She reminds me that I'm [I]allowed[/I] to feel cross, that it's [I]normal[/I] to have frustrations. [USER=294411]@Littlefootsy[/USER] it sounds like you're doing everything right - with such great support from you I'm sure he'll regain his confidence. :) [/QUOTE]
