I have had a constant battle with anxiety, depression, panic, agoraphobia, fear of driving… you name it. About 2 years ago I started noticing a change in my son. It all came to a head in November. He started college last fall. We had 5 deaths in our family in a year. He was at school 2 days and got Covid. That is when his severe depression, anxiety and panic attacks started. We got on meds, saw therapists, and adjusted meds. While in his last 2 weeks of school, he cut himself. Got a DUI and possession of Marijuana. Stopped taking his meds. Went downhill from there. Drinking and “smoking” constantly. Now he needs to go to extensive mental, drug and alcohol counseling. He really needs inpatient but he is 18 and I know he won’t. I’m not sure what kind of input I need. I just needed to share with people who understand.. #Anxiety
