I walked into his room and found him hanging in his closet.<BR/><I>I instantly grabbed him and pulled him up with all my might and unbuckled the belt loop over the bar.</I> As we fell to the floor he gasped for air. We looked into each others eyes and both wept as I held him. I don't remember how long we laid their on the floor while clutching him tightly. I stood him up and lead him to my bed and consoled him, <B>"I LOVE YOU! WHY? I LOVE YOU!</B> and then I prayed. We both fell asleep in my bed. That morning I took him to the hospital. He stayed there for eight days 24/7. <BR/>My son had been seeing a psychiatrist and therapist for a year. He turned 16 when he attempted suicide. <BR/>Thank God, I caught him in time. He was very thin because I was able to lift and loosen up the belt buckle from the bar. <BR/>He had been misdiagnosed with ADHD, I found out he is <B>Bipolar II Depressive.</B> <BR/>The best advice I can give parents is keep searching for help. Listen to your kids, and don't take their misbehavior as personal attack. They are confused and need guidance. I cried when I found out my son had Bipolar, but it has helped me to understand his behavior.RitaRosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16040466000455018093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7743882718798327691.post-34317230879830015302007-09-25T22:12:00.000-07:002007-09-25T22:12:00.000-07:00There's a lot of teen suicides in Japan and it's s...There's a lot of teen suicides in Japan and it's so sad to know that even parents didn't see any manifestations of their kids taking their own lives.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
