[QUOTE="Calamity Jane, post: 514258, member: 13882"] Hello Galadriel, The way you describe it, your son sounds depressed, which may be the cause of his apparent eating disorder. It must be extremely distressing to hear that he wants to die, and he tells/texts no one but you. That's a lot of manipulation to lay on you, esp. when he refuses either a doctor's or a therapist's help. My recommendation is the same as yours: see a medical doctor, and get a blood workup and tell the Dr. you're depressed and overwhelmed. The Dr. can rule out a physical cause, then perhaps refer to a therapist/psychiatrist. That's it. If he won't go, he will surely end up in the hospital at the rate he is going. Just do all you can to encourage him to seek help now. I agree that it's difficult, but I wouldn't change my plans for the weekend at this point. See how things progress. I'm sorry your son is having such a hard time, it's so heartbreaking. [/QUOTE]
