Dear Molly

I want to tell you how proud I am of your resilience and how you have endured the past 7 years of what I can only describe as an experiment. A long period of trying many combinations of medications which has unfortunately resulted in way too many side effects, catatonia, a GI bleed, an endoscopy, a lumber puncture, numerous hospital admissions and more.

I see your frustration and the fact that more often than not you having no words to tell us how you feel, you simply go with the flow and because you lack capacity you have no choice. What a position for you to be in….

This journey has affected both your mental and physical wellbeing.

I want to give you hope, I want to reassure you that one day you may get back to the version of you who was happy and outgoing, more able and more independent.

I wish I could make you better.

I wish I had some answers.

I want you to understand that I will not give up and we will ‘keep on keeping on’

I am disappointed that it feels like we are in this in this in our own again and that I will have to chase – what’s next, what’s the plan, literally where do we go from here?

This last review/interaction was 16th January this year!

So my dear Molly you will be 30 this year and my goal will remain to advocate on your behalf for less medication, accepting that some may continue to be prescribed.

I saw you this weekend, we shared some special moments, I was sad that you shut the car door on your hand, I saw what you were about to do but I couldn’t prevent it. I will note that you need constant supervision and not assume the things I take for granted and the things that you just don’t see.

I hope you have a great week!

I am looking forward to picking you up again next weekend.

Stay strong and know how much you are loved!

Luv C (Mam)
