[QUOTE="Elsi, post: 741570, member: 23349"] I’m sorry Trying. This is so hard to watch them in pain. But it’s great news that he’s 60 days sober! Does he feel any kind of pride or happiness in that? S was a cutter. She was never committed for just cutting. It was recognized that this was not an indication of suicidal intention but a separate symptom of its own. But perhaps it’s not your role in his recovery to report this either? I would encourage him to be honest with his own therapist and enlist their help in getting through the depression. But I think perhaps it’s best to leave this in his hands. He is at a point he needs to take an adult role in his recovery. As frustrating and heartbreaking as it can be, we can’t do it for them. Antidepressants can take a while to kick in. If he just started them, perhaps they will start kicking in soon. If not, he should explore changing his prescription. But again this will require him to be honest with doctors and therapists. Hang in there trying. I know this has been a rocky road. [/QUOTE]
