I know for me personally, he has helped control my "releases". With that being said, I have also been pretty depressed because of it. But I want to be healthy for him and I think that is a great motivator, he does give me a reason to cope better. Thats for sure!

He is a grown man now.
Even when he was in school, the school year schedule was helpful to me. I also started a job that was a structured environment and I think that helped too.
You will continue to want to be healthy for him, to be Mom you want him to have, and the Mom you want to be. Do you have the support of a therapist? That is something I wish I had the opportunity to have back then, because I was not truly the Mom I wanted to be, and because it would have been so nice to have the support.
