Back here, for the second time... #69

So you have his password now. He is letting you know where he is, you can call and reach him at time.

I do get that you don't want to settle for crumbs, no one would and you shouldn't. I do know however that depression feels as if you are running on fumes constantly. It takes everything you have just to do what you "have" to do. Forget doing things for fun because that isn't even part of the thought process. You want the pain to end but really don't know how to get there. Believe me it is a dark hell and unless you have been there yourself it is hard to understand.

Pushing doesn't make you want to get anywhere and in fact you use that tad bit of energy to rebel. Sure everyone has mild cases of the blues but this is so much worse.

I would just say he would like your support but you can't do it for him. He has to see for himself that there is a way out of this dark place he's in.

Keep focusing on things you enjoy, tell him that you do appreciate the small things he does and encourage gently counseling.

hugs, kat
