    Hi and welcome. Well done for booking that appointment, that’s an important step in your recovery. How old is your son?
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    Hi and welcome to DWD. What kind of help is your son getting?
    Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!

    Hi Zena welcome to DWD

    A lot of us use hobbies as distraction, whether it is gardening, jigsaws, knitting or listening to music, it all helps.

    Hi and welcome to dwd
    If you can’t fly, then run, if you can’t run, then walk, if you can’t walk, then crawl, but by all means keep moving.
