The main thing is I managed to call him fat, daft & lazy by insinuation. That was reckless but great fun.

This is exactly what I find with all of my clients

Ah he won’t but I like your style

how a diagnosis & label would have helped them, would have opened doors for support & accommodation, legal reasonable adjustments & deeper self understanding. I know parents would have altered their approaches to support rather than shame & obfuscate behaviour.

Whatever they find, whatever they can learn about him (bearing in mind I know the DSM-V well, just not qualified to diagnose him) I think, maybe he will finally be able to sleep, focus, make friends, study successfully, and not self harm or hate upon himself.

I work with enough ND adults to know

But at this stage even if he did get into CAMHS, the waiting list would be years. It was 3+ months privately. I just want my lad to have every opportunity for support that he can, because in a few short years I won’t be able to do more for him. Assessment is about finding out more. Understanding.

In honesty, I don’t like unnecessary labels either but my son is almost 15 & still struggling even with an EHCP. We’ve asked for help so many times & not met CAMHS thresholds for assessment. I know from experience that this doesn’t mean he ain’t struggling, it means the referral didn’t tick boxes.

The second thing was that he didn’t approve of him having another label I asked “do you also object to the label of kidney failure for our other son? Or your being obese?”
Then I said “i find it absurd & hilarious how you let me do 99% of the kids care then complain about so much of it.”

Friends, my sons Dad is refusing to share the cost of a private adhd assessment for our son (who continues to struggle in every dimension of life). He said two things. One was that if the NHS didn’t think that he qualified for CAMHS, why should we? It’s like he’s missed the national camhs crisis..

Took some tesco Flu Plus tablets as well as a pot of coffee & I have done so much cleaning & so many chores in the past 2 hours, & suddenly am feeling a massive crash as they wear off.

Might have to take some every day to get motivated

Indulged myself with a movie in bed while I drink a pot of coffee & wait for the cold meds to work, & I watched Keira Knightley in The Woman in Cabin 10. It was pretty good bed while ill viewing. Just for your reference.

Last night was one of awesome dreams, none of which I can describe. I do have a thick cold & crunchy lips.

Dunno yet, not made & sent. Be a couple of quid I guess (thank you for pointing this out)

𝕎𝕚𝕝𝕝𝕠𝕨No not this again @salix.bsky.social · 1d

No, too time consuming and expensive to run

𝕎𝕚𝕝𝕝𝕠𝕨No not this again @salix.bsky.social · 1d

Am working on it but sales will not be vast, in reality

I will say though, best to not ask me to do portraits, they’re not my best skill.

Lovely friends of Bluesky, I really need to earn some money, so please consider buying my art? Not necessarily these but remember I can take commissions.

It is SO hot here in hospital again & so I needed to tie my hair up but horrors I had forgotten to bring a clip or band. Ingenuity is a stylish thing.

It was the most horrible party favour I ever experienced. I was outraged & screamed at him
