Thank you all for your thoughts and ideas. The website you suggested Scott is wonderful! It has a parents section, a kids section and a teenager section. If you have children I highly reccommend that you check out http://www.healthykids.org/ .
It has been two weeks since I found out about my son and he seems to be doing ok. The doctor took him off of the Prozac because of some of the side affects he was having and we are going to try a more natural method of dealing with his depression. But it seems that just us knowing what is going on has helped him a great deal. Let's just hope he keeps on talking and not stuffing those toxic feelings.
As for the kids at school that are bullying him, he just wants to let it be as school is almost over and they will be moving onto the high school in the fall...I reluctantly agreed.
Yup, sometimes it is prudent to "Let go and let God" take care of things.
ReplyDeleteGlad you know the problem...that is the first step in healing of ANYTHING!!!
Tammy...PEACE!
Glad you liked the website and are passing it on. I haven't found any other site with that amount of information and simple to understand writings.
ReplyDeleteReal cool about taking him off Prozac. I am not fond of doctors going right to drugs to solve problems, the recovering addict in me gets a little leery of pushing medication over natural methods for handling certain problems. I do understand and accept some people do need medication to function normally but it seemed like a harsh first step for your son.
Hope your communication channel stays open.
Love and prayers!
