Hey @Mel66 , I’d like to start off by welcoming you to ReachOut and would like to thank you for sharing what you’re going through. I can see how taxing this must all be for you and your family. I would like to acknowledge the endless support you have given your son during this difficult time and numerous attempts to communicate with him despite being met with reluctance and resistance. Being persistent can be challenging and often it can feel overwhelming, so I am curious to know how you have been managing your own wellbeing during this time?  I can hear your concerns around his change of behaviour, loss of interest and threats to ‘off himself’ and can imagine how stressful this must be for you and your family. It would also be difficult to see your son doing well and managing his mental health, to it declining and holding concerns for his well being. I want to share this topic on Suicide and Teenagers that includes a number of articles on communicating, understanding and managing suicide. In particular, this article on creating a safety plan with your teen is a great resource for ensuring your young person's safety and knowing where to go when things get tough.  It is understood that your son has ADHD and was previously medicated for it. I’d imagine that you have an extensive amount of knowledge around this but I just thought I would share this article on how to help your teen with ADHD as it may have new information that could be useful to you.  I look forward to hearing from you soon!  ...
