This sounds a good bit like my son. He went to college locally and lived on campus then had an off campus apartment. Unfortunately the demons of his mental health really took a strong hold and he ended up moving home with my husband and I, and is now finishing his degree online. Should graduate in July. All things considered to be “on time” is pretty awesome, It’s the “now what” that terrifies me. His original degree was in education, but he couldn’t complete that online.
Now he has decided he doesn’t want to teach, maybe do social work, but he really doesn’t know. He wants to live independently, and is capable but like your son, he has no friends at all, and that is so isolating. Not good for someone with severe depression tendencies. It’s exciting and terrifying all at the same time. I thought I worried when he was young, OMG I had no idea.
