help [View All]

looking for help here... son is clinically depressed... couldn't attend law school for 4 weeks (ironically after election as felt there was nothing for him to do anymore) couldn't get out of bed yet could not sleep. Drove to him (where I am presently) and he looked wild eye'd and like a homeless person. He finally agreed to see therapist at his law school after I called and told them this was a crisis. He admits I've been on suicide watch for more than a week. Am in motorhome with him ...two weeks and totally drained. Would appreciate any thoughts...have coped well and he seems to be making baby step progress but very needy. But I'm having total melt down tonight or let down.. it's good to cry I know. But seeking some support. There is nothing worse than seeing your brilliant child (has written 3 thesis has two master degrees) suffering so much. Who would think Obama winning would trigger such depression.
