Im feeling sad today. It is difficult to get motivated to do things. I don't know what I will do for Memorial Day and that makes me sad. I am going to go to the park now and go running and read my text book. I was looking for jobs to but did'nt see any. My son seems very sad lately, and that makes me sad. He was very quiet yesterday and I told him I think he needs to go talk to someone. I am going to take him to my counselor again next week.
Maybe your son is sad because he can't talk to you about his feelings? He doesn't want to make you feel worse then you already are and he can't talk to his dad for fear it will upset you or him... And not sure taking him to the same counelor you are seeing is a good idea for several reasons 1) he may not feel he can speak freely...even though your counselor should not share what he talks about with you he may not feel that confident in her ability to not tell you and 2) if she hasn't helped you so far what makes you think she will help him?
I do think your son needs someone to talk to...ideally it would be great if that was you but, seriously, I think you are still far too depressed to be very good for him right now...
I hope you begin to find a way to progress out of the hole you are in...for you and your son's sake...have you made an appointment with a doctor to go over meds or therapy options?...I really would encourage you to do that, and soon...
