[QUOTE="pepperidge, post: 415068, member: 2322"] I am so sorry for you. I wonder if there is something he feels guilty for--like he should have done something to help his friend or that he made a remark that he feels sent his friend off or whatever. Your son's behavior is very scary. I think it is way beyond school counselor material. I would be thinking psychiatric hospital. Maybe after that looking at a clinically sophisticated therapeutic wilderness program. I know from experience that it is hard to do something drastic, you wonder if you are overreacting, but alarm bells are going off in your head and you will be glad after the fact that you listened to them. And if gets mad at you that will probably be a good sign and if you have a good relationship it will survive even if he blows up up at you in the meantime if you take action. It is very worrisome that he won't talk to anyone even after several weeks. All of his actions seems to be a cry for help. I called a suicide prevention line when my brother was deeply depressed and it was helpful to me. Hugs. How sad. [/QUOTE]
