[QUOTE="Arttillygirl, post: 422546, member: 3522"] Well I'd hoped to never need to post again (rap boy is what I called my son in previous years because he wants to be a rapper) but our son tried to commit suicide while at college. He was doing so well, honor roll even. But he lost his scholarship, took 5 classes instead of 4, was always broke because he couldnt find a job, and his girlfriend broke up with him so he took aspirin, Tylenol and nyquil. He was hospitalized and is now out. One one hand I am reeling from being so relieved he is alive and another I am so angry. He figured out all his classes so he can finish this year and then went out if town with friends! His computer was cooked in his car so I am busy trying to work out details with the insurance so he can finish classes and he emails me (he can't find his phone) that he's out of town. This whole ordeal will probably cost us 7k out of pocket. He has one more year and a half of college and frankly I am wondering if it's worth it. The psychiatrist hinted at bipolar but my son said he said he didn't have it. Now that he is 19 and in another city it is so hard to get info or help him. He was on so oft and vyvance for ADHD the doctor gave him wellbutrin (which hes tried before) and ambien. My husband is dreading the summer and is already talking about curviews etc. So we are arguing about how to handle him. Any support would be greatly appreciated. [/QUOTE]
