Name changed for this because i am asking for advice/help for my son and wouldn't like people who know him irl to realize it's him, though I know that it's unlikely. My son is in his 20s and lives at home. He is easy going, kind, funny, gets on with his younger siblings who are still in school, generally great to have around. This might be long but want to fill in the background. He never talks about issues, laughs them off, but he has been overweight for years and is becoming imo, morbidly obese. He is very bright but lacks motivation and we discovered in his teens that he is dyslexic, he didn't get much support in school and we were given wrong information and poor advice about subject choices and college. He was bullied in school about his learning difficulties and about being slightly overweight but i only discovered recently that it went on for years and was relentless. This resulted in low self esteem and a bit of social anxiety. He scraped into college but dropped out after a year, did a few courses that led nowhere, but finally got a decent job a couple of years ago and is doing well. He has lost touch with his school friends and spends all his free time in bed playing games online. He also eats junk food in bed. He has no friends, has never had a girlfriend, no social life, no life really. He eats with the family, normal, reasonably healthy meals. He doesn't drink, has never taken drugs, it's his junk eating that is causing the weight gain. He mentioned the bullying in conversation recently and I was shocked at some of the stuff he told me. I asked him would he consider counselling, he agreed that he has low self esteem and body issues, but it was a flat no. My brother died recently and it has hit me hard, I feel that my son is wasting his life. I know he is a grown man and it's his life, but I would be grateful to hear from anyone with a similar experience or any advice. Tia.
