[QUOTE="Worriedsick, post: 674011, member: 19824"] My 18 year old son continues to spiral downwards since his girlfriend broke up with him over 2 months ago. He's been admitted twice to hospital. Once for trying to overdose on pills, second time he talked all day about killing himself. He's been to 3 counselors, acupuncturist, he was in an Intensive Outpatient Program that he stopped going to. He was on Zoloft for 2 weeks but the side effects were bad. It's been over 2 weeks now that he's been confined to his bedroom. He refuses to contact his friends or see family. I'm a single mom that lives with my dad and my son. He has frequent anxiety attacks where he paces, rocks and continually says he wants his ex back. He's says he's sorry and wants a second chance. I repeatedly tell him he needs to work on himself. I feel like I'm in a vicious cycle. I've been reading about detachment. Will this work in this case? I'm afraid to leave him alone for too long. He seems like he has abandonment issues. I have not gone to work in 2 months! I'm trying to keep strong. Can someone who is depressed and keeps themselves isolated drive themselves crazy? [/QUOTE]
