Hi AMurphy

Sorry to hear what your son has been going through. I can’t imagine how difficult it must have been for you.

Anxiety is hard to live with and can be really scary. Do you do any therapy’s that you do to try and manage the anxiety? I do different therapy’s but sometimes it’s still so difficult to overcome. I hope you have the best day that you can have.

How is your son doing now? I remember putting my mother through quite a lot when I was younger. I struggled with anxiety/depression and had suicidal thoughts as well. Anxiety and worry can have such a strong grip. My faith is what helps me let go. I always had a hard time with the side effects of meds. My husband did as well when he was suffering with anxiety attacks. (seemed to make the anxiety worse?) We have chosen to go the diet/exercise route. Counseling helps a lot too. Do you have any family or friends to help you through this? I know my mother was pretty isolated since we lived so far from family and everyone. Just in case you still need this for your son, heres some numbers: Hotline #s: 1-800-SUICIDE or 1-800-273-TALK (1-800-273-8255)

For international contacts: suicidepreventionlifeline.o...

also, heres a link with some resources and a crisis text line if he's more comfortable with that: bit.ly/2hcTFzT

I'm here if you need to talk <3 Peace and prayers <3
