[QUOTE="halfquarter, post: 655118, member: 18995"] Thank you for your post as I feel you are living my life. My son is 18 and sits in his room all day and can barely get out of bed for school. He says he is mentally ill with depression but won't take medicine. I cant kick him out and if I do, he will be on the streets and die. I can't do this to my son, but my family and I cannot live like this anymore. Our family is completely broken, and my husbands job is at stake and so is mine. My son says his life is over. My son is self loathing and told me that the worst thing I did in life was to give birth to him. He says hes ugly, a loser, and hates himself. He is obsessed with his complexion and his height. He is 5'10" and not short, and very good looking. He started college at a local community college and now at the end of the semester he says he can't do it (finish). He was getting straight As. My daughter who is 13 is suffering, my husband is depressed and I am taking Ativan to sleep. I have nightmares every night and I wish I could fix this and help him. He has no friends, and is lonely. He wants help, but is afraid of the medication. I think we need to send him somewhere for help but don't know where. He has been to 25 psychologists/therapists in the past and it has not helped. My heart is broken. [/QUOTE]
