Hi all, I'm reworking my CV after 18 months of contract and freelance work and would love honest feedback before I start applying. You are the best! Thanks. PDF version: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Eq6K-po1JgusC2aMatnqMR9MXQYskFOu/view?usp=sharing
Hi all — unusual post, but this community will understand.
My son (17) had his first psychotic episode this summer — multiple hospital stays, delusions, currently inpatient and starting recovery. He's a great kid: funny, warm, loves his things. But the illness plus a substance problem burned his entire social circle, and he's completely alone now. Rebuilding friendships on his own isn't realistic for a while.
So I'm trying something: if you have a teenager or young adult (roughly 17–20) walking a similar road — psychosis-spectrum, ideally sober or seriously working on it — maybe our kids could be good for each other. Nothing heavy, and online-only — Discord hangouts, gaming (Project Zomboid, Rust, CS:GO), techno, gym talk, cooking chat.
The sobriety part is firm on my end — my son is early in recovery, so I can only pair him with sober kids or kids genuinely committed to getting there.
DM me and we can talk parent-to-parent first, then introduce them online if it feels right.
Thanks — and strength to everyone here.
