[QUOTE="rlsnights, post: 317313, member: 7948"] 1. Did you call his psychiatrist and let him know? If not, you need to do that today. 2. Next time it happens I would either take him to ER or at least call the psychiatrist on call for yours - they should have someone available after hours AND during the day. If not, then you tell his receptionist that your child is actively suicidal and you expect an immediate call back. 3. I second the suggestions of putting away sharps like kitchen knives and scissors. You also need to make sure any medications including OTC and vitamins are where he can't get them. Might also want to put away or toss any plastic bags. 4. I personally think he needs to be hospitalized and his medications re-evaluated 5. That said, I am wondering if this is being triggered by the change in living situation. Does he have a therapist? Does that person know what's happening? If not, call and get him an emergency session if you can't get him hospitalized. Hope things calm down soon. Hugs [/QUOTE]
