[QUOTE="Not giving up Hope, post: 661409, member: 19315"] My son did return home from his cross country trip. He left us a note and thought it was helpful but it scared us even more. I am trying to think of what I can take away or make difficult for him until he agrees to go for help but I just don't know what that would be. He pays for his phone and all of his car. Right now the car is broken down so he has used our vehicle a few times so I guess I can not allow that. He says his trip was all about clearing his head. He said he wasnt feeling like himself and he just drove and talked with friends until he felt better. I don't think he is activiely cutting again but of course if he was I wouldnt see any visible signs of it. We really only know how depressed he is because his "friend" gave us his user name for a website where he posts what he really feels. His best friends don't even know how bad it is for him. He doesnt know we have access to that website but Im starting to think Im going to tell him that friends have come forward and they are worried about what he is posting and see what comes from that. I am very interested in the posts about what I can do for me to cope with this. I am a constant wreck thinking about how much he is hurting and how I can do nothing to help him. I have missed work and spend many hours at home crying. I need to be able to function as well as help him if he would let me. [/QUOTE]
