[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 681202, member: 1550"] I think you got good advice. I am wondering though if it is depression alone or also some sort of subdtance abuse, even too much pot which kills motivation. Could be other drugs too? Our kids, especially those with underlying problrms of low self esteem and, yes, depression, often self medicate. I have been hospitalized a few times for severe, suicidal depression. I have fought it all my life. It is highly treatable with the right medication and therapy. Pot makes it worse. Any recreational drug is bad for depression. I dont even drink because i dont want to override my good medication with bad self medication. In the end your son is too old for your help. He has to be the one to get help as he is a legal adult. I hope your son figures things out soon and gets any sort of help he needs. Now...since you cant help him maybe you can take care of yourself and do something nice just for yourself. You earned it!
