[QUOTE="lostmyson, post: 551186, member: 15208"] LMS,seems you are putting the pieces together for me. I believe my son does suffer from depression as I have off and on since my teenage years.He has threatened suicide during a fit of anger when we have crossed him but not in a way that I believed he would follow through. I myself suffered panic attacks about ten years ago. Thought I was going crazy like the rest of my family. Odd thing was that nothing stressful was going on in my life at the time. Just the ongoing shunning by my mother and therefore father for fear of her wrath if she is ever crossed. That's a whole other story though. I have dealt with mental illness my entire life because of my mother. As a teenager I rebelled and drank and drugged into my mid 20's. Never got in trouble with the law, held a job, kept an apartment etc. I don't seem to have an addictive personality though. I was very lucky though not to have gotten into trouble. I have been around the block yet can't seem to see when it's my own son. After having my son I gave up the party life. He was my reason to live then. I believe he was drinking at 15 or 16 but not heavily. He did graduate...barely. Always late and skipping class. Poor grades. After graduation and the real world to face he started drinking a lot. I think the majority of drugs were in the past year. He doesn't really see to care about much, including himself. No plan for the future. I can remember dark days around that age myself. He can't seem to do what it takes to get by in the adult world. I believe he would rater be a kid again. [/QUOTE]
