Son in hospital in a coma

This is awful. I really feel for you and this has made reflect on a few things. Much of my life has been blighted by depression but I found (with professional help) that it can be managed and looking back, getting through the last major episode made me way stronger than I ever thought I could be and better able to deal with the wobbles when they come along.

My thought are with you.

Good luck, I’m sure it is a very sad and confusing time right now, keep talking if it helps.

I’m really sorry to hear about this, it’s so sad.
I work in brain injury rehabilitation, if you want to ask me anything feel free, I’ve worked with families in your situation more times then I care to remember. I know im a stranger but sometimes it’s good to talk to someone who doesn’t know you. I notice a lot of talk of depression, bare in mind he might not have been depressed, though it is likely, it could have been any of a number of things.
The best piece of advice I can give is to keep a positive attitude but be realistic.
Remember feel free to pm me if you want to ask or talk, I’ll gladly give you my number even.

Jeez, what a shitty situation dude! I have nothing to add that would help but just sticking my name on the list to say sorry to hear about what’s happened and hoping things work out, however long it takes.

Just awful. All the best for you and yours.

Just awful to hear. All the best that things turn out as well as they can from here on.

And to echo what a couple of others have said, sharing on here is definitely a good thing to do.

I’ve everything crossed for you ONPI-

Depression is a horrible thing to have to suffer, my Mum has it and I’m sure I have some of the same symptoms.

All the best OP, can’t say anything apart from thinking of you.

What an awful situation to be in.
Very sorry.

Best wishes for a full recovery from all your woes.
I’m so sorry for you and the rest of your household.

Here for you my friend, keeping you and your loved ones in my thoughts.

All the best – words don’t quite cover it I think. I have sons of a similar age & I really feel for you.

The next gen of our family (my eldest and my sis’ eldest) have some issues and I think we’ve both imagined being in your situation, thankfully we’ve not been there so far.

It’s not often I’m lost for words…

Wishing you and yours the very best.

It really does say something about this forum that people are willing to share such things and also get such overwhelming support from the members here.

My thoughts are with you and your family. Really hope there’s better news awaiting you.

So sorry for you and your family, I’ve no idea what i would do if it one of my kids.

So Sad.
Try not to play the blame game , or sit there thinking ‘If only this, or If only we had done that’ . Wont get you anywhere positive.
Be there if you can be for him , and take up some of the offers of support from here.

I’ve tried to write something helpful several times today but couldn’t, got home to my kids and gave them a massive hug( they complained). Times like this you really do realise what is important, hope all goes well, Marcus.

Awful news.

Thinking of you and your family. Stay strong.
