Help with my 12 year old boy?!?
Answer:
Those personality meds are serious heavy duty stuff, not tested over a long time and definitely linked to suicide in adolesence. You are right to be cautious about this!
With winter break coming, take some time off yourself to reconnect and do things as a family. He will hopefully be refreshed when he returns.
Hi, Mom. You absolutely have to get him some help, right away, no matter the cost. My son, who is 6 and was diagnosed as being ADHD, used to tell us he wished he was never born, but that is a six-year-old talking, this was before we started him on medication, and he said it more likely out of frustration than anything else. We are talking now about a 12-year-old, someone who is old enough to know what they are saying, and could very well be making serious threats. Start by talking with his teacher and principal at school about the situation, then I would make arrangements for him to meet with the school counselor, which won't cost you anything. You can ask the school if they know of any resources that can help someone like you with limited funds, or check with your local Health and Human Services Department, which can be found in the government section of the phone book. If you attend a church or other religious institution, get your pastor involved and have him talk with your son. And if you can get your child seen by your family doctor, too, I would highly recommend it. It sounds like he is very depressed, and counseling may help some, but he may also need additional help in the form of medication, even if just for a little while to help him get out of the mindset of thinking that he is worthless. And tell him as much as you can that you love him, that he is worth the world to you and no matter what he does, that will never change. He is quickly slipping downhill, and at this point you need to gather any and all resources you can to help him before he does something irreversible. Good luck to you!
get him in a sport or something to keep him busy from all this stuff. that what helped me.
