[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 458300"] Hi all, Well our saga continues... My son called me this morning sounding very upset and told me he wa checking himself into the local hospital. I was actually nearby the hospital when he called. I asked if he wanted me to come and he said yes. So I went and he was sitting on the curb. I asked him if he had checked in yet and he said no. So I suggested that instead I drive him to a nearby psychiatric hospital which has a really good reputation. I thought it might be better than either the hospital or where the hospital would send him if they didn't have a bed. We had been that route before and I thought the psychiatric hospital would be better. So he agreed. So I drove him. We went in and he admitted himself. He was very depressed, somewhat suicidal and it is over the girlfriend which was my guess when he called. He has had this pattern before where he gets really broken up with a girlfriend breaks up with him. However what his different this time is that he called me, he decided he needs help and he checked himself in!!! That is a huge step. I am hoping this place can really set him up with some good psychiatric services that he will like. He needs soem intensive therapy and I am hoping this will get him on the road to that...plus get him back on medications which I think he needs. So I think he is hitting bottom in a big way and hopefully things will get better and he will start doing the internal work he needs to do. TL [/QUOTE]
