@greenpea I agree, we live in stressful times. Especially stressful for people living with mental health conditions. Previously when things were pretty bad with my son I had genralized anxiety disorder so I know I am prone to get pretty anxious under stressful situations which as you you say is everywhere at the moment with all the craziness around us. Glad your daughter has moved out, at least that gives you and your son some space. My daughter is happy, now living with her boyfriend, not sure what's happening with his job under these tough economic conditions, but she got her 1st job as a tutor so I'm really happy for her and I know she's emotionally strong. My son's under isolation for 2 weeks in his room which is really tough for him because he walks a lot when he gets stressed, but at the moment he doesn't have anywhere to walk to! I'm really proud of him though because he's managing his condition very well at the moment. He ran out of meds just as he went into isolation so as you can imagine that was pretty stressful. I setup one of those tele-consults, fully covered by Medicare, with our GP which went really well, so at least now he has enough medication to get him thru this corona crisis. He's recently reduced his meds levels and he is much more stable. I'm so happy you are studying at uni, what subject are you planning to do? That will be excellent for you and I am sure you will go fine. I started studying Japanese just before things got crazy and It was cancelled because of social distancing. My work is all online now as it's in the healthcare area and they don't want any risk to anyone getting sick. Do take care of yourself and give yourself a little treat because we all need treats under the current situation. You sound like you are doing very well. Stay strong. Xxx
