My baby...
Permalink Closed

My 16 year old got admitted yesterday into the adolescent neuropsychiatric center at UCI for having thoughts of death and suicide. We sat in the ER for 25 hours waiting for a bed to open up. One finally did. Not sure how long he'll be in there for but hopefully he gets the help that he needs. He is really mad at me and is refusing to see me. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers.

Alegria- I'm going to tell you the same thing I've been telling my boss (who's having troubles of her own with her 15-year son). It gets better. Kids grow up into adults.

My sister was placed into the pysch ward of our local hospital (over Thanksgiving weekend!) when she was 12 or 13 for trying to kill herself with a bottle of pills. Scariest moment of my life is my mom trying to wake her up for dinner, that and having to flag the ambulance down to take my little baby sister away. She was there for about two weeks or so. She didn't come out healed, and in fact my parents still had years and years left of her being a teenager to deal with. However, she's now 22, owns her own home, has a great job as a CNA, has a beautiful toddler and most importantly, a great relationship with my parents. I guess what I'm trying to say is that he may hate you right now and refuse to see you but that will change.

You did the right thing, he may have never gone through with anything but as a parent, you can't take that chance. Anyway, I'll be thinking about you. Stay strong!

My sister also spent time in a psychiatric hospital...she had planned to commit suicide, had everything in place, but thankfully my mom found her before she could do it. Anyway, my sister still struggles with depression and self-mutilation, but she's 100 times better than she was. She has a very successful career as a dog trainer, volunteers her time for various organizations, and she's trying to live a healthy life.

There is light at the end of the tunnel. You'll be in my thoughts.

I'm so sorry. You did the right thing, so know that it is better that he be safe and pissed off at you than the alternative. You've had such a rough go of it lately, please take care of yourself too.

I'm so sorry, Alegria. Just to echo the other girls, I can't count how many troubled friends I had as a teen who are now fully functioning adults with careers, families, etc.

I'm sorry you have to go through this, but as the others said, he'll get over it eventually.  You're doing the right thing.
