My son will be turning 18 next month. In 6 weeks time he will be finishing his college course and although I have been trying to get him motivated for the past year to decide what he wants to do after he leaves college, and make plans to make that happen, he hasn't and I think he's now starting to panic.
He's just come downstairs to say good night before he goes to bed and has told me that he just wants to end it all. He says he doesn't trust anyone and thinks that they are all going to bully him. He says he has friends but not like other people have friends as they are all quirky like him. He also said he hears voices in his head. I can't work out if this is just his conscience like everyone hears or whether this is something more serious.
I'm just wondering if anyone knows where I go from here? How do I get him a counsellor or therapist or some sort of support to help him through this? Do I take him back to the doctors and get him refered that way? Or is there an organisation I can go through? Is there someone specific that I can get in contact with?
Any help offered greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
