So kind of you to reply. He’s been thru Genrose twice now. Both times left with a counselors name and prescription in his pocket. But feels - once out - that being in touch with his inner self ( reading, meditation, yoga, nutrition, exercise …) is the only tool he needs. However, as he continues to live at home - although there can be occasional strew - there are no financial demands which I suspect would consume his best efforts. He’s much better this time around. But I can smell the moods moving in him … up and down. Feeling he can do anything ( lots of talk of future dreams, likes work) and down ( binge eating and getting rid of all but minimal items ). He’s doing manual labor, as he finds it less stressful - but could never be financially independent on what he makes ( he has a college degree and speaks three languages ). I will continue to take care of myself - exercise, improve my diet, see friends ( obviously there is room for improvement) and see my counselor. Again - thank you for your story. It’s been six years since my husband passed away and all this started …I can only hope all will work out well, in whatever direction it takes.
