I took son to his therapist today. She is concerned he is suffering from some level of depression. She says he doesn't test consistently on the baseline tests for depression, but he has seemed out of sorts and not his usual self the past two visits. That he seems "emotionally drained" compared to his usual demeanor.
Not sure what to do about it besides stick to my efforts not to yell and fight about stuff, try to do more fun things together with him, and give him opportunities to talk about how he is feeling... he's a male though, so that last bit is already hard. I can tell there is "stuffing things down" and plenty of "I'm fine" coming out of his mouth when he is not fine.
I had a very nice time at my holiday party. Great food and conversation. It reminded me that I AM a fun and well liked person... it really is my H that has the issues. Made some new friends too, hopefully will get to do some GALing with them in the future.
