Feeling Your Childrens Pain

[nailit]

Contrary to popular opinion, I don't post my entire life on here. (far from it)
We all have issues and sometimes it helps to share (some of) those issues and receive advice/support from others that have had the same....Anyway!...

Currently got my son living back home. He's very obviously suffering from depression. He's slept the entire day, and still sleeping. Hes had nothing to eat since last night. He's a smoker but doesn't even want a cig (offered to buy him a pack). He has an appointment with the mental health service......in 6 months time!
Been in this situation with depression myself, just don't know what to do.
Ive had previous comments about my son calling him 'a big baby'. Some people are lucky enough in not having to deal with such issues in their own kids.

Good grief retro what an appalling situation. You too nails I feel for you both. I consider my wife and I very fortunate as we have four loving kids/adults. All well adjusted and stable apart from health issues. Walk a mile in other people’s shoes to see what they have to endure. Scary stuff.
