[QUOTE="Day, post: 658985, member: 19174"] Hi there, i have a 19 year old son, who is struggling with severe social anxiety and depression. He takes Zoloft and Serequel, sees a psycologist weekly, a psychiatrist monthly, and we have even tried hypnotherapy. He refuses to work or go to school, since February. He has a stutter and a learning disability, which makes things a little more difficult. Up until a year and a half ago, he was playing sports, had a girlfriend and got good grades. But he always feared getting a job. When he finally got one, with my pushing, he hated it, but worked full-time through the summer. What started the spiral was a bad break-up with his girlfriend of 2 years and I later found out, a verbally abusive boss. He stopped going to school, stopped all contact with friends and stayed in his room. He did follow through with a welding program but did not finish it, due to too many missed days. The struggle now is what to do? Im trying to set some goals for him to leave the house, but he wont. He says the medication makes him too tired. His jobs are walking the dog everyday and doing the dishes, which he does. As you can see, i am at the beginning stages of this and i went through my own depression dealing with this. Im trying to figure out when to push and when not to? I want our old life back. [/QUOTE]
