[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 612028, member: 805"] [SIZE=4][FONT=comic sans ms]For those of you who have only been around a few years, I first came here when my difficult child was 7 (he's 18 now). He was in a very, very dark place. After many years of hard work, docs, supportive schools, medications in and out, and more, he's done great through middle and high school.[/FONT] [FONT=comic sans ms]Here we are in the fall of his senior year and he's been exhibiting some issues that had me wondering what was up. He and I were at the office together last week. He had finished his day of work and was waiting for me and was sitting on the floor across from my office leaning up against the wall. We were talking about what's been going on lately with him and he broke down in tears.[/FONT] [FONT=comic sans ms]*Not just a few tears but a major cry feast. Tears pouring down. He said he was afraid he was getting depressed again like he did when he was little. He's been sleeping a ton lately, has been down on himself, lost a little drive at school, and been quick to temper and quick to cool. Most of these issues were the same ones he had years ago. He asked to go to the doctor. On the upside, I'm trying to ward off my fearful memories of the "dark years" with the positive aspects of this -- he's older and can vocalize more about what is going on and he is asking to see the doctor. He's a really deep thinker and I'm thinking there might be some senior anxiety and wondering about "what's next" in the mix. Please keep difficult child in your thoughts. Thanks. *Sharon [/FONT][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
