I also was the kid in the bedroom for almost an entire decade. I was 10 when it started. Disorders, undiagnosed neurodivergency, trying to find the right medication, system failures and school burnout... I was fortunate enough that my parents managed to make me keep a small link with the outside world by taking me on weekends and small vacations, using my curiosity and hunger for cultural places as a drive. I'm nearly 20 and only now am I starting to take small steps into the outside world on my own and starting to project myself a little into the future. I have no doubt that your son will make it in his own time, and he is very lucky to have you as a mother. I'm sure he knows how hard this is for you as a mother and is grateful, just like I will always be with mine

He needs to get out in nature. The BEST cure for busy minds

If you do nothing to change the situation then don't expect it to change

I used to be this teenager/young adult and I think if I heard my mother speaking like this it would have been very touching and motivating. I hope he is able to branch out eventually ❤️

Hun, this was me for YEARS. I'm 30 now (still living at home), have a part time job which I love, driving places, going to the gym, going to gigs, travelling, helping pay bills, and more! Life is good now! He'll get there in his own time ❤️

You're very brave for sharing this. We have the same issue. Some of these comments are rather closed-minded. It's difficult for you to explain the complexities in one short video (and you don't have to).

Sometimes I think we were not built for this world. It's very loud, fast paced and somehow we have to adapt. How can we expect our young persons to feel safe outside if their rooms.

I was that kid in the bedroom. For about two years, depressed as hell. The thing that got me out of it was my mum being very supportive. It allowed me to break out of it not because I was or felt forced to, but because I wanted to get better.

Why doesn’t he do something like online uni so he can study while in his room and then he can get a job or something and start living again. Also why don’t his friends maybe come over to your house and chill with him there since he doesn’t wanna leave .

You’re a lovely mum 💕 be hopeful that one day he’ll decide he’s ready to rejoin society. To be honest, I don’t blame him for wanting to stay inside where it’s safe and secure, the world outside is a horrible place to be just now.

Totally understand every word of this. We have been living this life for almost 8 years. How are we meant to just carry on living our lives, going on holidays without him etc? Our lives paused when my son stopped living his life. It’s so hard x

I motivated my son to come with me to do the grocery shopping, so he can buy any food he wants otherwise I ‘forget’ to buy what he likes. Also I just bought a ferritin test (iron test) from boots and my son is low and the doctor prescribed some iron tablets which make a big difference for my son now.
