[QUOTE="StillStanding, post: 726176, member: 21300"] Billiesue, I am not a professional so please don't take my advice for anything more than it is. I have taken a few parenting with mental illness courses and they always tell us to speak open and honestly about suicide. For example, don't ask the person if they are thinking about hurting themselves... ask them if they are thinking about suicide. If you think he is, if he threatens, call 911. I would book a psychatrist appointment if my son asked me to. He might not show up... I'm sure they're used to that. Where I live, it takes a long time to get the appointment so I would just book it. Good luck. I hope your son gets the help he needs. [/QUOTE]
