[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]20 year old son flunked out of college this past spring and came home depressed. He’s on a couple meds and seeing a therapist and seemed to be doing better but no job and no plans for the future. Now that all his friends are about to leave for college he’s freaking out and is too stressed out to think of what his future plans may be i.e. get a job, go to community college etc. I don’t know how to help him because I feel like it’s on him to figure out next steps. He really wants to return where he was, which was OOS, but that’s not possible given the current state of his mental health and his GPA is too low to transfer anywhere. He says he’s completely stuck. Any advice? He’s on some pretty heavy meds already and I suggested he bump up his therapy appts but otherwise I have nothing to offer and feel helpless. Thank you for suggestions on how to help turn things around. He feels being at home is just the worst thing in the world. [/quote]

Kick him out of the house. He needs to put on his big boy pants and be a man. [/quote]
