Received a phone call from ds 25 last night to call over as he needed to talk to me. Drove in dressing gown as was in bed - he lives 10 mins away across town. Found him drunk and told me he wanted to show me what he had done.
Pointed to the kitchen where he had prepared a glass full of dissolved pain killers and all sorts of pills . He said he hadn't taken any but doesn't want to be here (alive) anymore. This comes 6 months after attempting to jump off a sea wall into which sea. And when he confessed his crash - now 3 years ago - was no accident.. I rang local crisis team he saw in August, unless he was willing to talk - he wasn't - they couldn't visit. I left the house as was fearful of saying the wrong things. Rang the police, unless he was in a public place not interested. He scaled his fence and ran off so I rang them back.hebjad rescaled fence and was at home. Got a key and police entered his property. He did speak to crisis team. They ringing tomorrow. How can my mh withstand enough to help him? He won't stop drinking, won't take pills, won't find a hobby. I and at wits end.
Any advice people?

Flowers I've no real advice as I'm in a similar situation with my DS, I've a thread going at the moment. DS attempted suicide a few months back, the police bought him home.
Its taken a while but hes finally accepted help. He's now on Antidepressants and has agreed to.see a therapist.
I have aged about 100 years since Xmas and I.have a constant knot in my stomach.
Can he move back home with you,?
you have my sympathy x
