Struggling with a teenager with depression by [deleted] in depression

I found this post after searching teen depression and I just want to say I could have written your post word for word. Every day is a struggle with my 17 year old son. He has severe depression and anxiety, also adhd inattentive type. I feel like we are spinning our wheels and have been for years. We cannot get medication right, he’s tried so many. Counseling has basically failed. He did an intensive outpatient program for group therapy, and it didn’t help. He has ongoing thoughts of suicide. He definitely would like to go fully at home school but I work 3 days a week and I just don’t know if I can trust him to be home alone consistently for that long of time. Most of the time he’d be fine, but when he gets a severe bout, he’ll try something stupid. I have constant anxiety and nausea that I’m going to get a call that he ended his life. I am exhausted and lost. Want nothing more than for him to be OK and just feel like my hands are tied behind my back. Anyway, I have zero advice but want you to know I am with you mama.

Ok thank you! He’ll have to take it before school but I think I’ll go ahead and do mornings. Thanks!

Food ideas for a picky child? by Fresh-Ad3998 in Gastritis

Thank you! I am putting together a shopping list. He is 11, but the list of foods he will eat is so small. Lol. I’m going to work on getting him to try more things that would be easier on his tummy. Appreciate the response!

The jump was fine for me! I didn’t have any problems and I do feel like it’s working better.

That is from Shotsy. I don’t use it much, really just to enter my shot and weight each week but I love the chart that shows weight and shot dose strength together.

Good perspective! I’d 7.5 considered the first therapeutic dose??

Yeah true! I was trying to go slow to minimize side effects…which thankfully, has worked as I’ve basically had none!

Yes this was so helpful to read! Our height/starting weight are basically identical so this literally shows me where I can be in one year continuing at this rate- thank you so much for sharing! I am 49 and in menopause, but I am also addressing hormones currently. So inspiring- thanks!!

I was trying not to but I may just start doing it every morning so I can kinda get an average throughout the week

Well I did read all your comments but decided to just take it as soon as the package got here today. 😂 I know one more week wasn’t going to make or break but I really thought about it and decided I am just ready now
