Prayers for my son

Thoughts and prayers for you and your son...

Thoughts and prayers go out to your son and your family.  It's tough.  Been there as a parent.  It's a helpless feeling.

OMG, not anything any parent wants to hear... My thoughts and prayers are with you and your son. May God help him and be there for both of you

Really is a helpless feeling.  My wife and I have been dealing with a depressed/mentally ill daughter for about 3 years now and it is a roller coaster of emotions along with helplessness.  That said, we have her in intensive talk-therapy and constant tweaking of meds.  Her episodes have really decreased from pretty much daily to maybe a few times a month so we are on the right track with a light at the end of the tunnel.  

Hang in there VG, it really knocks you off your feet with a feeling of desperation.  My daughter is 21 now and did suffer from severe migraines up until her early teens that seem to go away after all the hormonal changes around 17.  She had a breakdown as a Freshmen at college and we had to go pull her out and bring her home to commute to a local college and limit courses.  She was top of her class and now has zero interest in education.  Such a shocking and sad situation to watch your child suffer so much but wanted to offer a ray of hope because my daughter has really been responding to the therapy and various drug treatments through trial and error.  I know every parent adores their child but she has always been such a sweetheart, kind and caring and it just breaks your heart.

Thoughts and prayers - you are obviously not alone!

Thoughts and prayers going out VG, I know all too well how it is to have the worst happen and I pray you do not have to go through it.  I am glad he is fighting this and hope he is able to conquer it. Let him know we are all praying for him and you.

Thank you. I know you do. It breaks my heart that you know the worst. I am so very sorry for your loss. I pray for strength for you. Love and light. 

A box of straight razors came in the mail for him yesterday along with a psychiatric referral. He can have the referral but we'll skip the razors. I have been cleaning to keep busy. Going through my family history with the nurse is reinforcing how prevalent some of these issues are. Some cousins are checking in with him to support and share their experiences. My sister that is a doctor is checking in with the neurologist and the hospital. I am so grateful for all the support. I am going to a support group tomorrow. Hanging on with everything I've got. I am trying everything I think of. I hope to check in with him soon. 

Prayers sent....

Blessings and peace to your son, you, and those who your son touches their lives.

Thanks so much everyone. I talked to him today and he sounds so much better. He said he wasn't trying to be mean when he said to leave a message for him at times. He said he was just focused on the groups and other stuff. No one thought it was mean, we knew he was working. He had a reaction with a medication the doctor said, which was part of the problem so they tweaked it. He said he was craving fish. I will definitely make him some. But he said he was opening up to therapy. I told him I was so proud of him. He said he wants a new bed. It's definitely a work in progress but there is progress. And talking about it with people that can relate helps. We're going in the right direction. Hopefully the botox works too. I'll know more tomorrow from his evaluation.

Im sorry to hear VG but its really great that he reached out and is getting the help.
Boys and moms have a special relationship that doesnt end because of adulthood.  You probably hold a lot of influence.
Thoughts and prayers.

Deepest prayers for you sister

You got 'em VG. God bless.

My son is home now. I am hopeful that this was just a bump in the road. The appointment for the botox is set. He just found out about the new medications too. He is open to therapy and that is set too. I am feeling so grateful and blessed. The outpouring of support has been overwhelming but much appreciated. Thank you all. 

Sleep well tonight. God bless.

Great news all around!

Hey VG - I was so sorry to read about what has been going on with your son. But after reading your last post, I see that things are moving in a positive direction. I'm so glad he's home and that you both have a network of support. 

Thanks again everybody. I am watching him build a computer right now. It's amazing the things he can do. He says he wants to live to be 100 and that there are so many things he wants to do. I am glad we went to see family for the holiday.
