flight, running, i need councillors to talk to the mum about 17 year old with signs of depression, so one has to help me

[future_]

I am a mum of a 17year old daughter and i am watching the classic signs of depression, she runs and hides when ever she has to talk about where she is at in life. I have tried a couple of councillors with her but she tells little cover up lies to them so they are not getting to treat the REAL deep down depression and I think the privacy laws should be changed so the parents who are housing and look after these people, the councillors should be checking in with them because we can point out the white lies they are telling them and really get to the bottom of actually helping these young adults before their whole life is ruined. Instead we get frustrated at home because nothing is getting better because the counciler is not getting the correct true story. Please help me

peace is going to a place to call home, paying off not rented like i am because it's not my home renters can be told to move on and move on and move on for years and years. i would be working one job and going home to a partner and raising family with no fighting. no need for luxurys it would be simple life. it would feel peaceful and that's all i need and want for my child as well because it's hard enough living in this harsh society now with unemployment and technology dividing social contact it's like i dont have a voice anymore always typing texts or emails or people say just email this, just email me that or just text me this or text me, text me, message me. i miss the art of talking and hearing laughs. pray anyone's child is unemployed or renting all their lives. the government has to start waking up to the houses prices being way way way to high for low soceity my heart is broken, i feel helpless and it's not fair. take care

Hello future, I hope you had a nice weekend. What did you get up to? I understand what you mean about technology dividing us and stopping us from making real connections with people. I'm also glad that you're using it to post here, and I hope it's allowed you to find a little bit of that, although I know it is not the same as chatting face to face with a person, hearing their voice and sharing a laugh.

That sounds like a lovely vision of peace. It's something I very much would like as well. It sounds like financially things are a bit of a struggle at the moment and that’s adding to a lot of your worries. Working more than one job to make ends meet, then coming home to a place that you don’t feel you can put an anchor down in because it could be sold out from under you. Not having a partner to help share the burden can be very lonely too. All this, plus your daughter is not doing well and you’re desperate for her to get help. That’s an awful lot on your plate, and I can understand why you feel so helpless and voiceless right now.

How do you think you’ve managed to keep going so well through all this? I sense a lot of strength in you.

that is just it I have no more strength to keep going thru this I really need to find an answer soon because I am so so scared of where or how I will end up and if I can help how I need to also help thru this. my weekend was spent in bed as I can not face any of it. xox

Hello future, I can hear that you're really worried about how things will turn out if you don't get the answers you're seeking, and the help you're after. It sounds like you needed a break from it all this weekend, and took some time to stay in bed and rest. Sometimes it is a sign of strength that we need to focus on our own basic needs to rest and recuperate for a time so we can recharge and keep going. The fact that you keep coming here to post and reach out is also a sign of your continued strength.

it's not strength at all it's fear and i am crying all the time. i am so scared and i have no one to talk to at all.

Hello future, I hear that you're feeling very frightened and it feels like the crying won't stop. You always have us to talk to here on the forums.

I need help I am scared about a young adult's future, no employment, addiction to the mobile phone and internet, no conversations, one word answers. why did life deal me this awful situation.

Hello future, good to see you back again.

It's been close to two weeks since you last posted, what has been keeping you busy over the last little while?

It sounds like you're becoming worried about your daughter's future again, and that she is not communicating with you as you'd like. It really seems to be weighing heavily on you again.
