This was a really great piece, especially for a first. It did manage to give me some goosebumps. Many parents would do anything for their children, and it feels exhausting that in a world of people, they seem to be battling stuff alone. That is dedication!
Thanks Jeremy!
I like to think people who are battling the same issues find each other and form a community so they don't feel so alone and in the end are stronger.
For example, I do know there are listserves for parents of children with differing diagnosis so they can connect and share their experiences, new procedures they've found that work, experts in the field and generally get support from one another.
Now go DEDICATE yourself to those last few exams :) You're rocking it!!

Yeah, I think that actually helps a lot. Doesn't have to be the same issues, but similar experiences.
Wednesday I went to a poetry reading and all poems were about mental health. Hearing so many different expressions about anxiety and depression; it felt phenomenal. I could connect with these poets and I felt so understood, even when they were just sharing their feelings, their stories.
