My son

My son is experiencing mental health issues as well. I feel so bad for him and I know how he feels because I'm n the same boat he's in. I wish I could make both of happy life has taken that for us. I'm trying to encourage him not to give up parents want the best for their kids. I hate seeing my kids down. I wish I had more to give my kids but I don't. I do my best but in today's society ppl base your value off of what u have so that cause a lot of mental problems as well. Life is a B

Hi, I'm sorry to hear that you and your son are struggling too much. I'm telling you one thing just pray! It will make you strong. Remember you are a valuable person and have every right to be happy. Meet new and positive friends. Think nice thoughts. Watch something nice on television. Read a good book maybe a self help books. Don't worry too much.

Hello

You yourself has a Depression and having treatment. Is your Son having treatment for His condition. May I suggest your Son is feeding off your own Mental Health concern, sometimes illness may be learned. However to help Him He will need to talk to His Doctor, hopefully a pathway may be suggested.

What has caused His Condition ?, is he having problems at School or is He in the midst of Examinations. Sometimes problems can occur like Bullying or His Studies. I do not know if you are married if there are problems there that could unsettle your Child

No he's not feeding off of me because I don't tell my kids about my issues I hide things from them. Who's want to be known as a mentally ill person? I know I dont. He has he own reasons. When some kids don't get their way and or things they want and or have to deal with outside issues they start acting out or become depressed. I don't have much I Do What I could and I have rules in my house so kids don't like that and start talking crazy so it's not my fault cause I don't tell my kids my business.

Depression is so difficult. For 25 years from the time I was 5 years old I suffered a dark depression. There is hope for both your son and you my friend. Have you guys seen a therapist, pastor or mentor? I know one of the things that helped me most was talking about it and getting to the root of my depression. God healed my depression when I was 31 and from that day on I have been free. So please get help and know I am praying for both you and your son. -Rachel
