(((((((((Angelina))))))))Is there any chance you can talk to his doctor? Also, does the school have any type of plan on how your son can make upthe credits? What are the credits in? If your son is manic he is not going to be thinking straight about you or his dad or school. You might have to discuss the possibility of having him hospitalized for his own safety or yours if this gets any worse, hon. I'm biplar, too, and there are times I wish someone had done that with me, though I would have hated them at the time. Get in touch with the doctor. Please make sure you and your niece and the baby are safe and let us know what happens.

Hello, Angelina. An involuntary commitment may be one recourse. These organizations may be able to help you:

In my state, the State's Attorney handles civil commitment matters. Look in the county government section of the phone book for the number.

Unfortunately, your son is mentally ill and a danger to himself or others. He needs help, even if he does not want it.

Good luck.

Greetings,

I feel, this is something that you should consult his treating physician/s on. Does he, by chance, have a social worker, as well? For such a professional would also be quite helpful.

Have a good one.

Yes, try home-schooling thru the internet. If he refuses to try, get on there with him and get his mind off himself. Offer to help him with his meds. He is obviously so depressed that it just seems like another chore to open his mouth and put them in. The last resort is to admit him to a hospital. At least there, they can keep an eye on him so he does not hurt himself or anyone else and who know, it might be on the wrong meds and that a change would work wonders. I appear to be so optimistic, but now for myself.
