    Soapets,

    I'm so sorry to hear about your son. I've suffered from depression for years and it finally came to a head in September. I checked myself into the hospital and they changed my meds. It was the best move I ever made.

    Your son is in the right place. Hopefully they will help him get better through counseling and meds.

    You, your son and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers honey.

    ((((HUGS))))

    I wouldn't say I've suffered from depression as much as struggled with it. It is a struggle I would not wish on anyone, especially a young person. Add me to the list of those who are praying for your son and you too... elyse
    Praying for peace in the Middle East, Ukraine, and around the world.

    I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
    Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!

    Deb, I am so sorry to hear that Alex has taken another turn. The last update you gave me, it sounded like he was doing better.

    He is still young and how I pray that this time, being closely monitered and being put on new medication, will help him 100%.
    I can't even imagine what it must be like for you and your hubby to go through this. To see your son go through this. I pray that the both of you stay strong and continue with the "Tough Love" as I have heard it does help in the end. I also pray that the New Year will have a big turn around for everyone in the family and all this turmoil will be in the past.

    You, your hubby and Alex will be in my prayers.

    {{{{{{HUGS}}}}}} Deb.
