@Past User just a heads up I split these comments into their own discussion.

Building on what @Past User said, how is your relationship with your son? It sounds like he's really dealing with a lot and it's good that you're reaching out for some support with how to help him. I imagine a lot of folks on this community will have been in your son's position, and can help you out.

Can I ask, how are you feeling? Supporting someone with their mental health is never easy and can take its toll on us over time. It's important to make sure you're getting the care and support you need so you can be in the best position possible to help your son, emotionally as well as physically.
