Hi @Sam3
I'm so glad to read your update on the GP visit for your son. After a frustrating misunderstanding I the waiting room, the appointment itself sounds as though it went quite well and she spent a decent amount of time with him.
Having a team looking after him sounds a great approach - Adolescent Psychiatrist, psychologist, and herself. I find it interesting that her assessment was POSSIBLY mild depression, even though she suggested the above mentioned medical team. Maybe she wants the others opinion before a complete diagnosis. The self
harm actions indictate something's not right though. But I wish you and your family all the best for a speedy recovery for him. You've got some answers to work on, but it'll be a bumpy road im
afraid. Not too long a road I hope.
Make sure to look after yourself too. How's your sleep going?

Thanks @WIP for remembering my poor sleep - it's about the same but impacting me less.
I hope you have some pleasant things to enjoy today if you can. Take good care of yourself

Good morning and good afternoon @Ant7 @Sam3 @WIP @MDT @DJMasters @greenpea @frog @Meowmy @eth @TAB @Maggie @outlander @Define_normal @Dadcaringalone @Sans911 @Nancy1 @Adge @Fluttershy1 @Shaz51 and all those visiting here. I hope you have a great day! I feel like I'm a bit behind today despite being up since 9am - Melbourne time- and having done several things like uni orientation and other things. This covid-19 lockdown thing is really weird in regards to me getting things done, like being here on the forums. Sorry for being so late.

@Maggie @greenpea Hey ladies. Thank you for care and support. Really struggling here. Spoke with GP and then slept for hours. Feel completely alone and vulnerable and anxious. Feel negative at the moment. Don't know how long I can last. Sorry to sound so down. Take care. Hope things will get better.
