I didn't want to read without commenting. I am so sorry that you are dealing with this, but you sound like a great Mom and are doing everything right for him. Good luck and I hope that they are able to get his meds regulated so that he can start to feel like himself again.
Ohhhh, I'm so sorry. I'm glad he's getting the help he needs. You're a good mom. And it's good he felt comfortable enough to tell you about his plan. Ugh. So many hugs.
omg chile I am so sorry. I am so glad he came to you and you are able to continue helping him. So many hugs to you and your whole family. You've had a rough year!

I'm so sorry. This is very similar to something my H went through when we were dating. His stay was short, but the first day seemed to be especially hard for him. I remember as we were checking in, he started to regret deciding to go in, but by the time he left, he had a very good plan for therapy and medication, and it was helpful for him to be someplace that was entirely focused on his health. Recovery was slow but he's never had a moment as bad since.
I'm so sorry. How scary, but how great that he told you. Don't feel guilty going out of town. He's getting the help he needs, and as you said, you couldn't do anything anyway.
Oh my gosh. That's so scary, and I'm so glad you came home and halted a VERY terrible thing. So glad you also were able to get him help so quickly. Hugs to you and him and the rest of the family.
I am so sorry. Everything I read about you on here shows that you are SUCH a good mom. I wanted to reach out since I have a family member who has suffered from mental illness in the past and actually went through and DID attempt suicide, and luckily failed (thank god). They had recently started taking a new medication to treat their mental illness. To this day, I still believe that the medication was to blame (I believe it caused them to have thoughts they would not normally have). You mentioned that he had recently started a new medication. Obviously I am not a doctor, but I wonder if this new medication could have changed his mood/behavior to have these thoughts.
Hugs. Try to stay strong and be positive. He can now get that help that he truly needs.
I'm so sorry. I've been through this before and it's absolutely heartbreaking. It's so hard.
He's safe for now and I hope he gets the help he needs. He's lucky to have you--lots of families simply cannot deal with this type of thing and hope it'll go away by itself. It won't, so it's great that you're being proactive. ::hugs::
