[QUOTE="Deni D, post: 756519, member: 22840"] Overwhelmed I'm so sorry you are going through this. I echo what everyone else has said. No one can put up with this kind of situation successfully. I used to feel like had to be the one who made everything right in my home, with no support system. That's just not logical, no one can do that when you have others fighting against you in an illogical way. My son has done the exact same things. Maybe some of the neighbors believed him. I no longer care, and didn't share with anyone who was not a friend of mine back then so who knows, maybe some neighbors do still think I'm crazy, which I find funny now. When my son would follow me around I got to the point where I would get in the car and go for a drive. It helped to an extent, to be able to breath, but then I had to come back home to it. It seems to me the most important thing for you right now is a support system. You have us so you are already on your way. You haven't said if there are drugs involved but the actions from your son are typical of someone on drugs so maybe a therapist who specializes in helping family members of people on drugs would be best. This way they would "get" what you are dealing with instead of giving you suggestions which would seem lame to you. I agree with the others about vitamins, healthy diet and going to someone for medication also. I think what you have would be called situational depression. Something anyone would have in your situation. Same hugs to you as from everyone else, we are here for you. [/QUOTE]
