Thanks to those of you who are responding. I should share something that helped greatly when I was at my worst.
I joined a self help group with others who had also had mental health problems. I eventually became a group leader which gave me a chance to help out. Because of this I tracked down a self help group for young people
for my Grandson but he was unable to go. I am hoping that down the road when he feels better he will reconsider.
I found it such a relief to know that I was not alone and that others struggled too.
