Guest guest Posted November 26, 2004 Report Share Posted November 26, 2004 “My son has started saying recently " I want to kill myself " it's always after he has gotten into trouble. I have mentioned this to his psychiatrist before awhile back, he stopped saying it and lately has picked it back up. I don't want to believe he is doing it for attention; or as my husband says he is doing it for sympathy. I have a big problem on my hands when it comes to the two of them, step father and son. I just can't comprehend how he can be this way towards him when he know's something isnt correct. I don't get it...we need real help! It's no excuse to say some of the things he has said to my son, but I know he is very stressed at work, home-money etc..and it seems Devin always knows when to push his buttons. I do think my son should be punished with things he does wrong, but I think he should be punished in appropriate measures that will not effect him so badly. What can I do here? I try to encourage my husband to read more on Aspergers Syndrome but he doesnt like reading. We are not on the " Same Page " and that also has effects on my son. We are both at opposite ends of the discliplin stick. I don't know what to do. Very worried here.” *************Feeling for you, and yes you are right to be worried. Statements such as “I want to kill myself” are very serious. I would call his Psychiatrist. If your husband is always mad at him he is more apt to get confused and do things that just will make your husband madder. Your husband needs to change not your son. Easier said than done, but when it comes to a child’s mental and/or physical health, the child comes before the husband. Possibly your sons Psychiatrist could e-mail your husband with his concerns or thoughts about Devin without pointing any fingers.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 I started taking LDN at 1.5mg at night for 7 days for IBS before I started getting suicidal thoughts. I did have some of the side effects mentioned here such as low blood pressure, fatigue, anxiety. I was determined to go the three months as suggested here to give my body time to adjust but had to stop when I suicidal thoughts started to enter my mind. Now that I have stopped for 3 days now I have been hit with a severe case of depression. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
