[QUOTE="TheWalrus, post: 689186, member: 19905"] If you cannot go back to work, you need to find SOMETHING to distract you, your thoughts and your emotions so that you are not just living in your sorrow for your son. Going back to work while my daughter was in rehab was the hardest thing I have ever done - but the best. I was nervous and sad and distracted, but it kept me busy. And soon, I looked forward to work bc that was 8 hours a day I did not focus on my child and her situation. I also agree that seeking help for yourself is so vitally important. You need help just like your son does. I had never been on an antidepressant in my life, but the enormity of my daughter's accident, discovery of her drug use, and her psychiatric diagnosis (all at the same time) was more than I could handle on my own. You, too, should be tired of feeling depressed. Seek help. Get therapy. Talk to your doctor. [/QUOTE]
