Mental Health : How To Stay Stable And Sane While Trying To Prevent Adult Son Suiciding
I am having a weepy night tonight. Husband and younger son are at work. Trying to calm suicidal older son. Have had a really bad month. Mental Health psychologist and psychiatrist are doing there best. Most of the time I can cope but occassionally I fall apart. Tonight is one of those. I live in a different town to my parents and siblings. Don't want to worry elderly parents and sister and brother are not answering phone. As usual I guess I will get over it. If you go through similar circumstances how do you cope? ~~~ jojammum48 ~~~
Best Answer To Mental Health Question
Hi I am sorry to hear that you are going through such a painful period in your life right now. It is good that you are offering your son the emotional support that he needs. I suffered with depression for years, and never had any support from my parents, brothers or sisters. Even when I was suicidal I was told to "pull my socks up and get on with ; Or, "get your act ; My family perceived my depression to be a mental weakness, and treated me like I was weak and pathetic. I attempted suicide twice, once when I was 16 years old, and again in my early 20's. Today, my parents have lost me due to their lack of empathy and compassion. They simply weren't there for me when I needed them most in my life. Now I have nothing to do with my family. With professional help and support I finally managed to turn my life around and I am now happy living my life to the full. So... I am very glad that your son has a loving, supportive family around him. You must stay strong for the sake of your son but you need rest too, and it is most important that you look after yourself in order to be able to look after your son. Your son clearly needs a lot of professional help and support if he is ever to pull through. And you need a rest. Have you tried to get your son into a psychiatric unit? I know that there is still a lot of stigma where psychiatric units are concerned which go back to the dark ages, but today units are much more people orientated and thus treat mentally ill patients with empathy and compassion. I understand that it is perhaps not what you want but you have got to think what is best for your son under the given circumstances. Psychiatric nurses will be able to keep a 24 hour watch on your son which means that you can get a good night's sleep, thus building up your inner strength and energy levels. You are doing the best that you can do under the given cirmcumstances. You can do no more than that. I will pray for you and your son and send some distant healing. Bless You xxx

Answer 2try searching for family support group that has the same diagnosis as your son (be it depression etc.) Only people who are on the same boat with you can understand you. and pray. pray hard. pray with a mother's heart. the Lord will not give us something we cant handle. Good luck to you and your family.

Answer 4I am not dealing with what you are so can only imagine what you are going through. I do however have 4 children under 6 and the six year old is like dealing with 10 children. We are just in the process of seeing a psychologist with him so I am under stress myself for different reasons. When you say how do you stay stable and sane I so hear where you are coming from as I ask myself the same question all the time. I have no family support but I find talking with my close friends is my real only way to cope, lucky for me I have 1 very good friend that will always listen to me when I need to talk and I feel that is the only way I cope. All I can say to you is you sound like a very strong person but reach out to someone if you need just by talking even if it is on a chat forum like this.
Answer 5See suicidal thoughts, and depression, at .nz/~shaneris in sections 5, and 2. Practice daily, and when needed, one of the relaxation techniques on pages 2, 11, 2c, or 2i, and try to get him to join you in the candlegazing, and to go for a brisk walk of 20 - 30 mins., and take the Omega 3 fish oil supplements, which are lacking in many Western countries diets.
