Worried About My 17 Year Old Son Posted: 02-27-07 23:33pm
Hello all,
Every time my son has a girlfriend he
becomes obsessed and does not come home
until 10pm, I am so surprised his grades
are good but this time around with this
new girl he only met two months ago he
started cutting class and failed one
marking period due to his absentees.
Yesterday they broke up and he went into a
deep depression, when I came home he was
laying on the floor crawled up into a ball
crying, and he even says he wants to kill
himself and that he hates god. He even
said god I wish I had a beer to forget my
depression. He also continued to say how
he has not slept, ate, and can’t
concentrate in school because of this
girl. I did not know what to do so I gave
him a valium so he can relax for the rest
of the night. What should I do.

How old is your son? I am sort of at a
loss with this one. I am thinking if you
took him to see a doc they may just blow
it off and say "he will get over it"
because I can't really see them
prescribing anything if he hasn't had a
prior history of depression or anxiety and
it is such a sudden onset over a girl.
And its safe to say you can't give him
valum every night (and if he does that too
much he may become addicted because its
the only thing that makes him feel good).
Depending upon his age, maybe try and do
something social with him ie: shopping,
movies. to attempt to get his mind off of
things. Again this will all depend on his
age because many older teen boys won't be
caught doing things like that with their
mothers. I wish you and him the best of
luck. Keep me posted!

give him a few days he will get over it
possibly on his own. If by the end of the
week or if he seems to get worse suggest
talking to a coucelor.

The age of that boy is already specified
by the mother in the title.I'm afraid that
u didnt notice it.

You may better get him to a good
doctor.Let him have counselling else.I
think that's better.

I think you should suggest therapy to your
son. He sounds as though, he may have some
sort of depression, but also attaches
himself to these girls very easily, which
usually stems from separation anxiety,
which is a disorder. My guess, he doesn't
feel whole & he is clinging on to
these girls as a way of making himself
feel worthwhile.
He is missing something within himself;
that I know for sure. I had similar
problem with my daughter in past. One of
my friends suggested me about brain
engineering labs. I think their site is
ebrainlabs.com. It really worked well for
her and I find appreciable improvement in
her behavior. I think you should try their
services.
Good luck!!!
