[QUOTE="Floundering Mum, post: 762502, member: 23117"] My 24 year old son lives with us because he’s studying. He appears fine but his best friend called to tell me my son was suicidal. He’d told her the date and method, and that it would not be in the family home. I called Mental Health Triage and they sent two people to our house to interview him. The following morning he was detained under the Mental Health Care Act. He saw a psychiatrist who declared him fit for release being neither depressed nor suicidal. I forgot to mention that my son has Borderline (BPD), as well as a tenuous relationship with the truth. Although he fooled the psychiatrist, other workers there were furious as they could see my son was lying and felt he needed to be detained in the psychiatric ward longer. But the psychiatrist had the final say in it. Things have been fine since because his older sister flew in to support us all. However, she told me that he bought surveillance equipment because I removed a rope (his chosen method) from his room. I could search again but he’ll always know and hide it elsewhere. He’s always been secretive and sneaky. I can’t watch him 24/7 and am beside myself. If I could, I’d sit outside on the porch all night every night to stop him sneaking out to do it. Because he’s not fine, despite what the psychiatrist thought. He’s non-compliant with his medications and lies to his psychologist. I don’t know what to do or how to stop him. If I drop my guard or vigilance for a second, he could drive off and do it. But I can’t keep it up indefinitely and I don’t know how long to try. I feel scared and helpless. [/QUOTE]
