His friends are kinda awesome that way. They know about his bouts of depression and step up when they see the signs.
Hey! What a surprise! Hostile 17! Can I get you a drink, Hostile 17?

Ugh, Laura. That's so hard. I'm glad he at least has good friends.

And then I realized I'd forgotten my pants.
I slept through my alarms and I know I'm forgetting something, but I do indeed have my pants.

To cross thread with FB, perhaps we can mix some anti-dep meds in wet food and syringe feed him.
Man, it's hard.

Laura I'm glad other people have seen him. This must be so stressful for you. I've had you all in my thoughts.
Has anyone heard from Suzi? I worry about her too.
Everyone dealing with insurance I am in the same boat unfortunately regarding prescriptions. It seems like CVS has made a deal with every company out there. We hate Cvs so go to our local Pharmacy which will only give us a month supply of anything, but it actually ends up costing us less because the one month supply is cheaper than the copay. Newest problem is they will not give my husband with severe arthritis more than 7 days of tramadol (not even an opioid) so we have been fighting that for months. I hate insurance with a passion.
I have been in therapy for a few months for my anxiety (agoraphobia really) and depression. I'm not doing as much as I should for homework, but it is really hard to overcome things I've let become the norm over the past 2 years.
I am really glad for everyone here, even though I'm not talkative much I read everyday. Thank you all.

Ha, have to hide them in pizza. I have to say I understand his reluctance with taking medication of any kind. His adverse reactions in the past are cautionary. He needs to understand that pot depresses him too, but he doesn't seem to see that connection.

Can you gets your scripts at Costco, Becky? They have the best prices here.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
On my way, with pants. And shoes.

Classic, Dana.
I'm glad to hear someone has seen him at least, Laura. Good luck dealing with whatever is going on. It occurred to me - if stimulants calm him down, maybe ADHD is an issue? Probably not super helpful to consider right now, but maybe could offer some coping skills down the road.
Hi Becky!

ADHD is an issue, and he used to down Mountain Dew to relax him, although lately more coffee because he is anti-soda now apparently. He is pretty successful at dealing with those issues, but depression, not so much.
