Re: Loneliness
Do you have different doctors and supports for yourself currently to assess and review your different health conditions?
I recall reading your post about Mr Shaz and ASD - it can definitely put a lot of our lives into perspective. I hope that he can continue to seek out that assessment to receive a diagnosis if that will bring closure and further understanding of himself ❤️

Re: Loneliness
That is so compassionate and empathetic. These messages is what I absolutely adore about Sane Forums.
"The most difficult skill I have to exercise is holding space.
It’s my first time at doing life. I don’t have any advice."
I feel this - holding space is you @Glisten holding my space. I get it. I'm holding my son's space. My friend @Glisten is helping me hold myself up.
This is what I do, I'm not stressed at my sons, both of them living their own lives - I'm happy that they feels they need to do it. But it's just the presence of both my 2 sons. I'm not in their
lives. They are not here.
They have forgotten about healing my heart. Are they healing their own hearts ?

Re: Loneliness
I am curious about your last line (again :P) of:
They have forgotten about healing my heart.
Are they healing their own hearts?
And it makes me think if my parent was asking me this, I would like to share with them:
I may be away healing my heart right now, but that does not mean you don't live in my heart. I have not forgotten you, but I want to encourage you to heal your own heart. How can others heal something that is so crucial to our personal living? What does your heart need? What does it crave? What have you maybe always wanted to do or what brings you joy? These are the questions I ask myself in order to heal my heart, I wonder if you might want to have a conversation with yours and try asking too ❤️

Re: Loneliness
Dear @PizzaMondo
No worries. Thanx. I appreciate that. Sometimes I don't feel I explain myself properly which is staying in the complete now and ......you know.....I love learning from other people therefore - I search online for award winning photographs I feel show an element of me.
All you need is love.
I try to study a chapter of an challenging book by a Psychotherapist called Daniel Stern, someone when in my 30s ide just continuously read and understand. Today not really but am getting there.
I'm almost ready to start drawing and practicing the guitar again....

Re: Loneliness
@PizzaMondo , I had the fitual mapping done and the hospital want me to go on the dialysis soon but the specialist is waiting for the numbers to be in the range which means it has to get worse first
No , have not got a referral yet , going to ask MI team to take the next step as they think he has asd
