Hi @Bazwa thank you for sharing this with us. You and your family have been through a lot for a long time, and I hope this online community can provide you with some comfort that you're not alone. So many parents share similar experiences here and use the forum as a way to vent, connect with other parents and find avenues for support.
With that said, I can imagine how heartbreaking and concerning it is for you to witness your son struggle with depression since the age of 12. It sounds like you've been very proactive with getting your son support from psychologists and medication. You mentioned that your son has stopped taking medication, and I'm wondering if he's still seeing a psychologist?
I'm also curious to know if you have a support network at the moment? It's tough for a parent to go through this, and feeling exhausted and at a loss is completely understandable.
I have a suggestion for a support option, please feel free to let us know what you think, and we'll do our best to help.
We have a free one-on-one parenting support service available if you're interested. Here is all the information you'll need to sign up.
Thank you again for opening up, and we hope to chat with you soon.
It looks like you’re visiting us from a country other than Australia.
We are an Australian service and think you’d benefit more from looking up a similar service in your country.
You are welcome to look around the forums, but please don’t make an account or post, as we can’t offer you the help you may need.
Before you go ahead and post, you should know that we remove non-Australian accounts – not because we don’t want to help or connect with you, but because we may not be able to provide you with the service that you require.
