oh jj,
first thing "depression" is an illness.
he is not doing this to you or himself..
depression is doing this to him..
it is such a horrible dark hole. when you are in it ,it appears there is no way out..life around you changes,,things are so distorted..
there are alot of great books out there..true,
i could not read more than a sentence when i was in the hole...my mind was jumpy and i couldnt concentrate on anything..other than emptiness,,and sad sad sad .
support him with kind words even if you dont feel like being kind to him...
is he self medicating?
i would ask your mom about this forsure.
she is very wise and may surprise you about how she had delt with mental issues...
after all it is said there is more than 10% of us out there with mental illness...where are they all?...chances are you will deal with it again,,
there is help out there..
tell me how you are doing ....this 30 seconds,hee hee
