| I was thinking of bumping this up, thanks for the comments. I talked to my S on Monday and things seem worse instead of better. He said that he is feeling anxious all the time, he's avoiding his friends because he feels that he is going to "lose it and doesn't want to do that when they don't like him very much anyways" and is tired all the time.
I told him that this wasn't right and he needed to go to the counseling center. I told him that he shouldn't have these extreme feelings of anxiety and I couldn't solve his problems from so far away. He wouldn't tell me but I am getting the feeling that girl problems are what are driving this. I also think that the pressure of finding someone or someplace to move to next semester is stressful. He feels that people are picking on him and don't really want to invite him to do things with them.
On the positive front he seems to be doing some of the things that I suggested. He is getting out and exercising some. He also is becoming involved in an honor society that he joined. I'm hoping that finding new people to talk to will be good and he won't depend on the people that he has been hanging around with.
At what point and when would someone decide that transferring would be something to talk about? The school he going to is very good in his major but he could transfer someplace closer to home. The school that he could transfer to is a big state u, it would have a better male/female ratio and is not so isolated.
Thanks to everyone who has commented. This is so very hard and I feel that I am posting very personal things but I don't know what to do and where to point him. |
