[QUOTE="SeekingStrength, post: 649564, member: 17635"] Hi Heart, First, I am so sorry you and your loved ones are going through this. Getting psychiatric help when needed is difficult in our location also. It is stressful and frightening and so very frustrating. husband and I dealt with this with our oldest son. While I do not have first hand info, I do want to share a story. Friends of ours had a son who went through something similar while away at GA Tech. It was a very scary time for them. Son finally came home and went through a couple years of doing not much (pretty much sitting around), but apparently healing. Eventually, he got a basic-level job and did that for awhile. There seemed to be not much progress, but at least he was doing something. But, you know, he eventually went back to school in a college here. Graduated, married and got entry-level job at Radio Shack. A couple years later, he and his wife moved to Atlanta area because he got a much, much better job. So, things looked very bleak for several years. But, given plenty of time, this son worked his way through it. At a slow pace for his parents....but it happened. And, he seems to be thriving now.
