so, my son who is 25 (call him X), has a new dr. Has gone once for a 1/2 hour appointment and has another 1/2 appointment this week. Of courss X hates the dr already, is complaining that the dr wants him to take medication that he has tried in the past and it was unsuitable. X says he wants to go get another referral to a new dr. This takes several months and it is pretty useless since they all operate pretty much the same ie give out medications. The thing is x had a fantastic dr for about 2 years. The dr was a gp with a specialty in psychiatry or something. He would spend at least an hour with x each time. He gave a lot of useful advice but, of course, my son did none of it. Never tried anything he was too scared. The one good thing that this dr was able to accomplish was that x went to a daily program (maybe 3/5 days a week) since the dr retired he stopped going. On the one hand it makes my life easier since I don’t drop him off every morning and deal with his games of running late and listening to his negativity on my way to work.
I told him I don’t care whether he goes to the dr or not, it is his life to throw away as he wishes. He wants me to save him from the bad dr but I am done. I can’t save anyone not even myself. Besides I’m sure the dr is fine but I really don’t care. X has to figure things out for himself. Or not. I dream of the police coming and just taking him away. I have no idea what to do. I cannot afford a counselor of any sort for him besides they usually want to see a bit of action on the part of their patient and X won’t do anything although he can talk a convincing game. Also he won’t like any counselor there is a problem with everyone. My life is a frigging sad piece of crap. I also have a daughter (23) and she has a university degree and works. Off I go to face another day. Really, what is the point?
