Walking on egg shells

Hi @JooJoo . The whole thing is really just that, isn’t it? Heart breaking! Thought I would share with you that my son has almost zero insight into his illness, but I remember one trip we took, just before I realized that something was seriously wrong, and my son said to me that he was scared because he just didn’t feel anything anymore. He couldn’t be happy, sad, angry or even laugh. This stupid disease seems to attack that part of their brains first. The reason that I wanted to tell you that is that I’m happy to say, 3 years later and properly medicated, he can laugh again. He does feel some joy, and even sad, though it is still dulled down. The anger had quickly come back after that initial conversation as the disease really took hold of him, and he still struggles with that if he gets stressed about something. I wish you nothing but the best. You, like all of us on here, are a fighter, and will get this done!
