My son needs a friend

Please help- my son’s one true friend passed away last month and he feels so isolated, angry, lonely and hopeless- & his OCD is possibly worse than ever. He’s really suffering right now. I try to help but he desperately needs someone his age to connect & chat with but he feels like no one his age wants to connect with him.

He’s 22 and in college, beyond bright and has so much to offer.

Is anyone available to reach out to someone in need?

hi sm02. I’m very sorry your son is struggling right now. I’m older (50) but happy to chat with him if he’d like. I do unfortunately have experience of losing a close friend and also losing my father which was extremely hard on me. I’m happy to listen and if desired, try to support your son thru this rough time. Praying for peace for him and your family at this very difficult time

You could try googling, "Support groups for people with OCD and grieving". Im sure there are some online, and possibly where you live. You might find some for both OCD and for people who have experienced a loss.

Not what you're looking for?
