[QUOTE="ColleenB, post: 679506, member: 19887"] As a guidance counsellor I get that anti depressants are not the answer for everyone, and he is fully aware that drinking or doing drugs will make it worse. Our hope is that this is a turn towards accepting some help. He has thought he could fight the anxiety and depression by will power alone. As someone who has their own demons with both, I know how hard this is. I am hopeful he finds his way. I get o can't force him, or guilt him. I have tried both... They don't work. I am taking it a day at a time, sometimes a moment at a time. He paid for his own first term, so if he gets money back its his, and I would like to see him pay off his drug debt. I don't want to bail him out. I think he needs to do that. It's causing him anxiety knowing its there, and of course we fear he will go back to dealing to pay it off, so it's tempting to just pay it. But I know it's better for him to do it himself, with his own money. I am trying .... I feel oh so sad for my sweet boy. He is so smart and so kind and to see him hurting is heartbreaking. I hope all of you have some comfort in this hell. I know I appreciate all your kind words and support. I come here when I came sleep or I'm sad and just need to read read read.... Thank you.... Hugs xoxo [/QUOTE]
