So I have name changed but some might link to previous thread.
So DS tried to kill himself a number of weeks ago. We didn't even no he was that depressed two workers from assessment team (I think) came to see him in hospitial we where told they'd get him to see a psychologist as soon as possible he did and they think he has depression and but him on sleeping meds and the women from CAMHS keeps seeing him about once a week. About two weeks ago he came into me disorientated and throwing up, pupils were massive. I called 999. When they got him to hospitial and they thought he'd taken something. He was saying the weirdest things. He didn't provide a urine sample for 24 hours (he only thought it was about 3). So they obviously thought he'd taken an attempt on his life again. He cant remember. Hed taken an overdose for a second time in a month he had almost died. A CAMHS on call worker and the women how had already been seeing him came to the hospitial to see him. They talked to the psychologist he had seen previously and they have put him on sertrailine which from doing research is actually a really strong antidepressant. We have to phone gp to get meds. gp phoning on monday (tomorrow) will we have to go see gp? He now has two CAMHS workers the one he'd seen originally and the on call one are both working with him. When he saw them after he came out of hospitial he told me that it was the first he'd cried in front of them. He didn't tell me much of what they'd discussed only that he'd admitted he's still suicidal and that they don't believe he's fully telling them the truth. He's seeing them again on thursday and they are going to keep monitoring him. I believe and so does he that hes even more suicidal i think he may try again. He's told me he has plans but not what. He hasn't told CAMHS he has plans but he's considering it, what would happen if he told them? He wants help but he also wants to die. I just dont know what to do. What might CAMHS do next. I know they are worried about him, he likes working with them as they listen and he says "Mum its like they can read my mind it fucking weird but cool." He wants to tell them he has plans and hes still really suicidal but he dosent know how to tell them. Normally its them asking :Do you still have these thought?" and he says yes but he wants to say it something along the lines on "I still want to die and i know how i can do it." But hes scareed about what will happen next. So am i. There hasnt been ny talk on the next step only to see what happens with the meds befor any plan is made. I have heard many a horror story of CAMHS but i think theyre being good. I think the new worker whose working with DS is higher up than the other one. Its just scary and advice or help greatly recieved.

How terrible for you all.
I think you know that CAMHS has to be told this immediately, don't you? He's told you - he's trusted you with this information and you need to pass it on to CAMHS. No wonder he's scared, having all those thoughts going round in his head and no wonder you are, too.
I would contact CAHMS now for advice. I hope everything goes well.
What an awful situation for you and your DS to be in. You don't say how old he is, but can you stay with him/him with you until he's received more treatment?
